I was in Vietnam when rumors of the My Lai killings began to spread around the country, and I, along with everyone I knew, immediately dismissed those rumors as nothing but communist propaganda. Hell, I still have a hard time believing American soldiers could do what those men of the Americal Division were eventually convicted of doing.

I am now equally skeptical about what these Marines are accused of having done in Haditha, and will not believe a word of it until their guilt is proven beyond a shadow of doubt. (and then I'll only half believe it)

Thanks for your service..

You know, my husband was in Vietnam...and I have never asked him about My Lai...whether he heard anything or not..and since I met him after he got back, I don't even know if he was there before, during, or after.

Well, when he gets home from work, I will have to ask him

But, you reminded me of the fact that a LOT of the people, one I heard call a radio show tonight (the father of a Marine), that were over there right after Haditha supposedly happened, have said there was NO scuttlebutt about this, no gossip..or anything.

You would think there would have been some hints that something happened out of the ordinary.
