The Communists pointed to the destruction of a village to show the brutality of the Americans.
Then proceeded to destroy countless villages themselves.
Of course they did; that's why we were there in the first place. Murder and intimidation was the primary tactic of the Vietcong.
It was never supposed to be ours. Calley and his bastards murdered women and kids and old people, they didn't just "destroy a village".
They also murdered the reputation of all of us who fought so hard to protect the Vietnamese people and to uphold our own honor as American fighting men.
