American soldiers DID kill babies (Sand Creek Masacre, Wounded Knee etc) and they did kill buffalo (1830s to the 1890s) Kerry just got the dates wrong.

I am sorry. I wasn´t in that war. I thought we were talking about Vietnam.

Sand creek was a mob and not really US troops.

While the Seventh Cavalry was responsible for the killings at Wounded Knee, Sand Creek was done by the 3rd Colorado volunteers under Col. John Chivington, and was not under U.S Army command at the time.
Bison were killed by the military,civilians and Indians, who in some cases, killed bison solely to get tongues and hides to sell to the whites, leaving the meat to rot.
