..my dad [former Recon Marine] chopped off VC limbs, ears etc etc. as well as tortured captured gooks for intel. Would you dare to slander him?...

'Slander' means to falsely accuse, mate.

Now, are you or your dad saying that being a Recon Marine or having a chest full of ribbons somehow excuses torture and murder on the battlefield?

I think you dont quite comprehend my position. I am not looking to excuse Torture. I'd have to have a problem with it first.

Murder on the battlefield...that is hilarious.
