Actually, once again, you're wrong.
some of it is patently, verifiably and proven to be true.
Innocent civilians WERE butchered. On both sides, of course, but don't go fooling yourself that US forces never committed crimes in Vietnam.
Ever hear of My Lai? Ever read any personal memoirs where US personnel recount how some people were shot illegally, or villages burned, or innocents killed? Or do you believe the vast majority of published material recounting such events are false?
I respected your opinion earlier, but now you seem to be going even more extreme. By denying simple facts and adopting double-standards you are undermining your point of view.
