That's always the case. It's clear that war crimes were committed on both sides, as is often the case. The victor always decides two things - the difference between criminal acts and necessary evils, and the difference between traitors and patriots. Justice is rarely fair to both sides after a conflict. If Britain had won the American War of Independence, George Washington would probably have been hanged as a traitor, and Benedict Arnold may have been hailed as a hero.
