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?
