Digressing for a moment, the concept of 'war crime' seems bizarre, from a detached or even 'alien' point of view.
The whole point of bothering with a war is 'victory' (Pyrrhic ones included, but they are never intended) and the concept of 'tying your hands' prior to the onset implies a willingness to perhaps lose which means that mebbee the reasons for going to the war in the first place aren't that convincing, even to the proponents.
The US has been in a bunch of wars of late, but since Grenada, have any of them resulted in the US conquering anybody ??
If conquest isn't the fucking goal, maybe sit that one out?

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
