So many war crimes were committed. We need to remember those who died.

Karma caught up with him 7/14/76. It should have been by a hanging by wire. Barbed wire in his case.

He likely roasted though, and I'm not the judge, but slaughter was only part of his activity. US uniforms for infiltration and deception, killing many. Von Clausewitz reader maybe, but Mein Kampf as well.
