Four Hours In My Lai (4 of 7)

Americans tell of USA infantry massacre and rape of allied civilian women and children in South Vietnam. US Army photos and film. NOTE NOT in hostile territory, NOT an enemy village in South Vietnam, no-one properly punished. (you get more for DUI or pot than Calley got, he was out in under four months, no one else punished at all.)

Most important was that SOME Americans knew better and tried to stop it AT THE TIME.
The black guy from Detroit, the helicopter crew , Pvt Berhart and others, goes to show who has morals and who doesn't. The dude from Detriot couldn't understand how how they didn't know morals form somewhere, and the helicopter pilot and others who likened them to Nazi's and didn't go to Vietnam to be the Nazi's

You sullied your allies with this, New Zealand and Australia are still dirty from this, it doesn't wash off. Our heroes have this stain on them even if THEY did no wrong.

Yet still in Iraq CNN shows the USA continuing with NAZI tactics, using civilians (children even) under duress to check booby traps and to knock on doors of suspected ambushes, against Geneva. Using civilian contractors with No accountability. WHEN ARE THE USA GOING TO LEARN.? Stop being the Nazi's, or at least censor your press and TV stop youtube etc. Hide what you do , the Nazi's at least knew that one, be decent enough to have shame.

Same with the BAIT for SNIPER programme, if bullets were left near a school in your town would someone other than a terrorist pick them up, would it be okay for a Army sniper to kill them as a terrorist then.? I can think of LOTS of reasons someone other than a terrorist would remove pyrotechnics, left lying around by the US army as bait.

Some people just are not thinking it's the old oxymoron "military intellegence".

Hugh Tompson is a fucking legend RIP

[onionanon]

Warrent Officer Thompson was brave, Compassionate and true to his own sense of what was right and what was wrong. Its one thing to face the enemy but quite another to have the courage to face his own side to protect innocents. That alone makes him worthy of our respect and Remembrance. Rest in peace Warrent Officer Thompson, the world was a better place for you being in it.

You're a dumbass. That's no 'trophies' he's keeping. It's a reminder of the unspeakable things he did. Watch how he says 'this is my life'. He 'has to deal with his actions' for the rest of his life. By the way, he couldn't deal with his actions; the guy committed suicide in 1997 :)

This shows how devastating war is on those affected. Still I wonder how the American people after Vietnam got into new wars with exactly the same result. What are the benefits for the US? Billions of dollars wasted, lives destroyed, families torn apart. Now your economy is on a massive downturn. A terrible image all over the world. Only the elite waging all theses wars took their profit of it all by getting even richer than before.

Hugh Thompson is a real man. A man who looked death right in the eyes and was still able to do the right thing.

Defending there country?

[whiskeyspray]

If nothing else I admire that guy's honesty, it would be easier for him to say nothing about what happened, instead he offer's us a glimpse into the mind of a other wise normal person committing unspeakable acts.

americans where losing the war so they killed defenseless women and kids then burned the whole country with napalm then droped a nucular bomb thus filling the land with radiation for 50 years

people need to be held accountable for their actions and it just doesnt happen in america

the only people who go to jail in america are innocent black guys and skinheads whom run out of bullets on a shooting rampage

the real criminals run the country
