The US hasn't done so, because it hasn't felt the need (although it got close with Russia several times).
Committing war crimes has effectively been the national defense policy of last resort since WW2. That's what the nukes (and formerly chemical and biological weapons) are for. The implicit threat is that the US will massacre your civilian population.
And I don't mean that as any special criticism of the US. Most countries have a similar attitude of the rules of war going out the window when things get bad enough.
