The Failures of the Military-Justice System
Briefly

War entails unspeakable violence... some violence is so abhorrent that it falls outside the bounds of law... the American military is supposed to hold them to account.
But it has failed to do so, leaving the public unable to determine whether the military brings its members to justice for the atrocities they have committed.
The result is the largest known collection of investigations of possible war crimes committed in Iraq and Afghanistan since 9/11-nearly eight hundred incidents in all.
The database makes it possible... to see hundreds of allegations of war crimes... in one place, along with the findings of investigations.
