You are right but the US was heartily sick of the war and tired of seeing their sons besmirched by KGB sympathizers like Cronkite and Jane Fonda. They just didn’t want to believe it. And frankly the Army holds a lion’s share of responsibility due to its policies that allowed incompetent jackasses like Calley be officers. Look up ticket punching on the net for a primer.

Do Stuff?

Where does this “smartest man in the room” get the vocabulary?

No wonder Michelle is feeling hopeless.

I feel the pain, MOTUS.

Apologies, fat fingers posted above in the wrong thread. Dangit, I hate that it got into this sensitive thread.

I knew Hugh “Buck” Thompson, who was involved in this. We were in the Army together.

Once again, I apologize.

Geez. Wow.

I wasn’t there and have never been in battle or seen friends die so I have no comment.

Sounds like anger and desire for vengeance boiling over.

War is a horrible, horrible thing. Wow.
