Don't let other people put ideas in your head. Your argument would have more worth if it were original. Many stir ashes of old fires for their own benefit under the guise of "For the Children, For the Women, For the People, For the Planet." yada yada yada.
Don't be manipulated, be a free thinker, look at the "Big Picture."
This episode, under the guise of straining neighbor relations, would (a blanket admission of guilt) create a far larger strain.
Governments deny virtually all wrong doing, then delay all findings after lengthy investigations. Hopefully all will forget/lose interest/be diverted by other things. It's on the first page of your orientation.
Plausable deniability
Rightious indignation (if accused)
Bad facts/lack of credible information (garbage in-garbage out)
Absolution in Abscentia (first time I ever heard of this)(unknown)
select a committee to investigate (time)
create a report after they're finished (more time)
Investigate on your own and you will find both Axis and Allies frequented places with women for bardor/cash/fun/romance/and unfortunately...force.
This/these incidents are the tip of a world-wide Iceberg, and singling out "one" (just because they lost) is hypocrisy.
