Not at all, but usually they restrict it to an rogue General or to a unscrupulous merch contractor business man. But The Creator is not much hiding its inspiration in Vietnam movies like Platoon, Apocalypse Now etc and thats why it is not hiding away the war crimes.
But that's also one of the weak points of the movie. For Vietnam and Afghanistan we know the crimes done by the other side, so not every movie has to show it. But here is the AI only shown from a positive side, except the ice cream delivery (which can be easily explained), that makes a world wide conflict quite unbelievable. The AI is shown to have feelings, so in a modern world, you can't tell me, the US would be unchecked by other world powers. You could compare the US in the movie with Russia today, but to make this believable, they don't show that the US is so highly controlled as Russia. At least it would explain why New Asia can hold up with US for so long, without having any forces.

Yes. Eventually those "Saint AI" were just ridiculous. It took me out of movie.
Movie tried to show us that humans were bad and AI were just harmless little puppies who were falsely blamed for that nuclear blast. And its just not. Robots will take over world and end humanity. So those military were right.
And honestly they didn't care about shooting robots because for them robots are machines and they view them as we view cockroaches or termites. You don't care about their feelings when you exterminate them.
