I'm a clear-thinking individual and I will NOT agree to your proposal here. How many is "many"? Ok there was My Lai. Rattle off a few others. And demonstrate your meaning of "many". A hundred? A thousand? Ten thousand? Granted one is too many. But how many is "many" ? You can start with a quick search for "Tiger Force", or 'Vietnam +"necklace of ears"': "Sergeant Forrest Miller told Army investigators the killing of prisoners was "an unwritten law." Other soldiers said they sought revenge in the villages after unit members were killed and injured during sniper and grenade attacks. Soldiers often cited conflicting views of commanders as a reason they killed unarmed people. Some commanders told investigators that civilians could be targeted in certain circumstances; others said they could never be attacked. During the Army's investigation, 27 soldiers said severing ears from dead Vietnamese became routine. "There was a period when just about everyone had a necklace of ears," former platoon medic Larry Cottingham told investigators. The atrocities carried out by the unit came just months before the killing of about 500 Vietnamese civilians by an Army unit in 1968 at My Lai." -- Mike NAR #70953 - Sr/HPR Level-1 ~ BEMRC - NAR Section #627 NO Junk Email, please!
