And quite telling was that the Soviets executed more of their own soldiers in ‘41 - ‘42 than we lost in Vietnam.
My father, a Polish Jew, fought in the Red Army (severely wounded at Stalingrad, which actually saved his life...long story). He witnessed a low grade Soviet Officer (captain?/LT?) shoot 3 Red Army soldiers dead on the spot for looting (’44?). No trial, no hesitation, no repercussions, no big deal.
Entirely different universe than the West.
