American soldiers only stopped executing children in Vietnam because a helicopter pilot forced them to

They were put on trial but like all colonizers, none of them were convicted

The Vietnam war was the most evil and insane project of the American military-industrial complex.

So far to date, the US has lost every single war that it started in the last 214 years, despite having the most equipment, the most manpower, the most sophisticated military hardware available.

When one possesses the right-wing, group-think, self-serving mentality that Americans go to war with, is it any wonder why the world has no empathy whatsoever for the USA as it disintegrates as a nation on the world stage?

@swirlie Wars are started for profit. "Winning" means making corrupt defense contractors wealthy. Evil old men get rich, the poor die.

@badminton

...you are describing the American translation of "Winning" here. American translations of anything don't count in the real world.

Lots of crimes where committed in the Vietnam war. And by American soldiers.

Many of the incidents are not even talked about. 😞

War makes soldiers mentally deprived. Is it no wonder that PTSD often happens?

@DeWayfarer Likely a lot of conditioning too. I wouldn't be surprised if the army gave soldiers drugs and gave them just enough food to live but not thrive. Sleep deprived too. I think it's on purpose but at the same time if we all haven't learned that war only benefits the state and the rich, we'd be all better off so not sure I feel bad. I feel a kind of weird empathy, it's like I'm sorry that happened to you but since we don't learn our lesson, it's still like a conscious thing that soldiers do when they decide to commit war crimes.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Fool me the last few hundred thousand years shame on me then as well.
