>>”The way things were done in Viet Nam his orders were legit. “Illegal” kills happened all the time. I was in the military when he was tried but was not in Viet Nam. However, every friend I have who served there told me that this type thing happend a lot.”
Excellent Terry, You have made three statements, AS IF THEY WERE FACT. And your source for these FACTS is: “...every friend I have who served there...” Statements of FACT with unnamed (probably imaginary) sources but it’s OK, because it dishonors everyone who served there. I would expect this from some Leftist twit, not from a conservative.

I don’t dishonor anyone who served there in combat or in support.
I said “Every friend I have who served there told me”? The FACT is that every friend I had who served there DID tell me that. So, that statement is a fact.
So, maybe you should READ what I wrote “AS FACT” instead of accusing me of dishonoring veterans.
I lived during that time and EVERY ONE I KNEW, (and this is a fact) including hippies, felt Calley was a scapegoat. He was following the orders of Capt. Medina.
