Usually they are "in too deep". If you start investigating properly then you wont just have to jail some low level soldiers, you will have to jail high ranking leaders and maybe even some politicians.

Anyone that has been covering for these criminals will also need to be punished. So their only option is to never admit anything happened because the consequences are just too big.
