Just read up on it. Shocking what happened to the 3 men left behind. 1 shot and the other 2 executed “by beating with a RPG tube” basically executed by torture. Order after he went back to Cambodia by the top Khmer leadership.
All the while the Khmer Rouge were murdering hundreds of thousands of civilians in the “Killing Fields”.
We should have launched a mass B-52 incendiary attack on the largest City with the most loyalty to the Khmer as revenge.
Those poor men. I agree with you completely.
This has always bothered me.
Men are killed all the time in war, but...these men were left behind, and the feeling of abandoment and loneliness, left to the hands of those beasts even until today, fills me with an aching sadness for them.
