One American soldier in Vietnam stopped My Lai by threatening to turn his machinegun on the other Americans. Things didn't go great for him after that.

lmao do you think legal culpability is really the issue and not the fact that the military is full of psychos who relish the chance to inflict pain on others

The more I learn about the navy seals or the special forces the more it seems like a government program to keep serial killers off the streets

"It was not pleasant going before Congress. The war effort at that time couldn’t stand any bad press, so they tried to whitewash it as much as they could. [My war buddies said] I was a traitor—they didn’t know the magnitude of My Lai. Some of them would say, “Oh, that stuff happened all the time.” I’d say, “No, it can’t happen all the time.” I don’t think I could live with myself if I thought that was an everyday thing that I was part of. [...] [I got] death threats at three o’clock in the morning, mutilated animals on your doorstep, and I’m sitting here just as confused as hell. What in the world is wrong? What we did was right. What we did had to be done."

lmao that the US pulled off a genocide within an order of magnitude of the holocaust and killed, discredited, or terrorized anyone who tried to stop it in even the tiniest of ways and the response to that fact was to invent out of whole cloth of a movement of people harrassing pro-genocide soldiers to make the whole situation seem more nuanced

Why did most people support the national guard murdering people protesting a war they were against? Was it because they were putting their mouths around car tailpipes and inhaling all the lead they could breathe? Is it because america a demon cracker nation?
