Today is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre

[Cypress]

It was a tragedy. Too bad the atrocities committed by the NVA and VC were never publicized. What they did was 1,000 X's worse. But that's war. No side is completely innocent.

I hold my country to a higher standard than communist rebels and fascist brown shirts.

I am pretty sure most educated people realize that communist insurgents throughout history have slaughtered civilians and committed heinous war crimes.

The Bolsheviks burned down the church in my grandfather's village.....with the priest locked inside it.

The fire bombing of German and Japanese cities by Allied air forces in WW2 cannot be justified ethically.

I believe most liberals would like to see international institutions that hold war criminals accountable beefed up, aka the War Crimes Tribunal in the Hague, et al. International law can always be improved and beefed up to put potential war criminals on notice.

However, I have never noticed conservatives showing even a slight interest in international law, or working with the international community to beef up war crimes investigation tribunals. The fact that a lot of conservatives were cheering for water boarding and the torture of prisoners actually wreaked havoc on or credibility as a nation committed to justice and the rule of law.

Tolerated. People are still dying from Agent Orange.
Did you see many deformed kids while you were passing through ?

The only deformed kids I saw were pictures in the War Remnants Museum in Saigon.

My daughter-in-law's family can give you chapter and verse on the Viet Cong and Viet Minh. They were very cruel to people in Saigon for the first few years after the war.

I have been to the Sơn Mỹ Memorial where the massacre occurred.

I might add that Americans are welcome in Vietnam now. The US Navy has berthing facilities in Đà Nẵng these days.

Tolerated.

No. Welcomed. I've been there too. The wife and I were riding bikes in the countryside outside Hoi An when we passed a group of Vietnamese men sitting around drinking beer. They invited us to sit and have some with them. We had a great time with them. Everybody we met was wonderful. Would love to go back.

Same here.

@moonbat : where do you get your information from? Ever been there? If so maybe they only 'tolerated' you because you acted like an asshole.

New Orleans, where I grew up, had a large Vietnamese refugee population. I've heard many stories.

They just wanted your tourist money. I'm friendly with a past Vietnamese embassy employee. You're one deluded dupe.
They have a vernacular name for ' forgive and forget ' tourists.

We drank their beer - on them. No money involved.
Another tailor in town fixed my broken watch band for free - wouldn't take my money. I woulda paid him $15.
That Vietnamese embassy employee only tolerates you. Like I do.

I have no reason to believe you- and your assumptions conform with your delusion.

You have a 'friend' that tolerates you. I went to professional school with Vietnamese plus I've been there.

Yes, let's pretend that there were no atrocities committed by the Viet Cong or NVA right dumbfuck?
