I Worked with a guy who was in Germany in the 30's & was in Hitler
Youth..
" Like the Boy Scouts" was his take on it..
Nice guy, good sense of humor, usually easy going, hard worker..
& then
" That Jew ******* " would jump out when he spoke..
.. & I'd just cringe..
Had a teacher who lost her whole family in the Holocast;
One of the best teachers I had in College
our neighbors fled from Germany to Switzerland & then landed in the
U.S. & learned english & worked hard &
luckily survived & did OK..
&
I had a freind who lost her mother in the holocast..

- So I think the Pope must have learned a horrible lesson in
his youth..
He and I may have different views on a variety of issues
but
They wouldn't have picked him if he wasn't a truly good man..

This is a little unclear - you DID kill someone ("onetime") or you
didn't?

Nevermind.

It does look as though you regret not killing - or knowing that you
killed - people. Let's assume that those weapons you supplied did kill
"many, many, many of the Vietcong", and let us further assume that by
"many" you mean 10.

You cannot, of course, claim any hand in targeting those weapons, and
so the best we can to to guage their effect is to assume they matched
the average effect of the United States over the run of the war.

Simple arithmetic then shows that you would then be responsible for
killing 1000 "Vietcong" - but that's not all. Using gerally accepted
casualty figures you would also be responsible for killing roughly 1800
innocent Vietnamese civillians; and about 13 Americans and one or two
members of other forces (Australian and the like).

There, now. Feel better?
