I see. So a video of a single army unit burning a village (which may have been hiding and storing weapons and/or ammunition for the enemy) smears all of our efforts and makes all of the rest of us war criminals?

Again I was there, 17 months. Most of it patrolling villages, dealt with the people a lot.

How is it that someone like you shows up on a conservative site?

Yes, the green jello is too spicy and I'm sure the nurse will be by soon with your Ensure.

“So a video of a single army unit burning a village...”

The fake media goes all the way back to the beginning of the written word I imagine. And certainly was around in the 60’s helping the commies.

That footage seems “fake”. In one scene it shows our troops walking away from a village (well, at least several huts) that are ablaze with a fury. I suppose doused with fuel, a grenade - did they have phosphorus grenades? It looks something like that. Anyway, what one might imagine an enemy village might look like after we found it and cleared it out.

The images of the women and children putting out little spot fires with their buckets - not so much. Perhaps fires due to a nearby firefight or nearby bombs or artillery throwing out burning debris. But I would hope our troops would do a better job of burning an enemy village than tossing a few matches on the roof and then walking away, leaving the locals to fight the fires.
