[Interesting Times]

Am I missing something? Are the stories I heard 25 to 30 years ago from neighbors, co workers and other Veterans who where there bogus?

If your neighbors say they murdered civilian women and kids in Vietnam, I suggest you avoid hiring them to babysit.

The line between "civilian" and "enemy" in that war often blurred between women and children.

You guys are crossing a line with this "investigation" that is as equally despicable and vile as anything the "rats" would do.

I am ashamed for FR to be associated with this.

OK,here are my observations.I never was in Vietnam but I know MANY Vietnam vets who DO tell of commiting acts that many of us who stayed stateside might consider rather ugly and cruel.Their justification was that after you see your buddies killed and wounded you are defintely not likely to see the Vietnamese as a people worthy of giving a lot of slack to if there is any question of them being the enemy.
I think there probably WERE some atrocities commited against civilians just as there have been in all wars.That is not to say that the whole Winter Soldier movement didn't have a bigger,New Left agenda to promote but to deny that it happened at all is pretty naive and myopic.
