Do you think its more likely that American soldiers have fantastic moral character and discipline or that American soldiers are not punished when they make mistakes?

I'm saying that an absence of records of punishing Americans for war crimes does not mean they don't commit war crimes. I think its more likely that they aren't punished at all, and if some are, its not reported.
