As I stated before, tactical designations such as "free-fire zones" were an implicit order to commit war crimes (wanton killing of civilians and all that). These orders emanated from the top, so the lack of war crime court martials should be unsurprising. These men were forced into horrible acts by their superiors. Is this really a new idea to anyone here? Don't the hundreds of books that have been written in the decades since Vietnam fully disclose this truth?
