No, nobody denies that US troops have commited war crimes in the past. Just don't exaggerate the problem, nor minimize the degree to which the US military has prosecuted those in its own ranks who have committed them.
The other thing to remember is that war isn't generally black and white. War crimes by some GIs doesn't mean that war crimes weren't committed by the other side in the Vietnam war. Be careful in your zeal to point the finger at US troops that you don't end up whitewashing the (far larger) crimes of others.
