https://archive.ph/O8rGB to see the whole article. It contains (extremely disturbing, sob-inducing, be warned) testimonials from 30 years ago. The angle of the article is shoot-and-cry, as the author's concern seems to be to protect soldiers committing atrocities from the potential mental health impacts and the "moral injury" of their acts.

Do you think that moral injury isn't a real thing?

I hope it is. And if it leads them to off themselves for what they did to those children, we wont shed a tear.

I'm not sure if you read the article, but there were clear distinctions between soldiers who had no remorse for war crimes and those who consciously chose not to do them or report war crimes to superiors.
