Try reading THE BRIGHT SHINING LIE, for eyewitness accounts at Corps Tactical Zone echelon and MACV Senior Advisor echelon, that doesn't contain all the self-serving American flag waving BULLSHIT.
Some good things happened in the RSVN as a consequence of individual American generosity, but the POLICY of Saigon puppet regime run by/out of the CIA/US Embassy was one of mass murder, War Crime, and demonic rapacity.
2 million Vietnamese died because of the war. Don't try to portray this as a war where Americans were only trying to save and help people. That is propaganda and everybody knows it!
'Dispel the myths'?? Is that to tell our children that the Mai Lai massacre was a 'myth' - when our own helicopter pilots turned their guns on U.S. soldiers to stop the slaughter?
That heroic helicopter pilot lived on Staten Island and was honored for his actions after death. That is no myth and the Mai Lai was the one that was reported and publicized - like all the instances of police corruption, murder, and planting evidence that weren't discovered over decades.
Hey lets not forget Hue Massacre, those Viet Congs were killing us. 6000 civilians, teachers, students, children, doctors were killed by the Viet Congs, so don't talk about My Lai to me. And it's "My" not "Mai"
@twinqletwinqle: For you, Hue Massacre was just an amplified fabrication; although the casualties included the north, south soldiers and civilians. But how can you avoid losses in a war Vietnamese people fighting at each other? It was the Pentagon creating this fake to draw the American boys out of the war.
@tranthanhhai08 Wait... so according to you it's "fake". So my great auntie who was a school teacher wasn't buried alive?! Thousands of Vietnamese suffered in New Economic Zones and Reeducation Camps - What about the millions of Vietnamese who were boat people or 27K POWs sold to Russia... You know very little of the Viet Congs & what they did. Look at what they're still doing now as an indication!
@twinqletwinqle Well, you've talked me into it. I've just found an Vietcong-banned document written by Nguyen Hien Le about the period before and after the Vietcong's invasion. I believe in Nguyen Hien Le since he never take side in most his writings.. Peace!
@Arrrrbol He was shooting a VietCong.

Yes Sir, I honor your sevice. I swear to God I do. But if the "Golf of Tonkin" was a lie, then what followed was pointless and only murder.

What is the point in being the cause of the wounded and then showing that you are caring for them?
