    The Soviets during WW ll hold the record when it comes to war time atrocities being committed in the past 100 years.


    Have no idea why the PC left and the cultural-marxist revisionist give the VC and NVA a complete pass. ?

    What about the "Massacre at Hue" during the Tet Offensive in 68 ?

    4,080 and as many as 6,000 Vietnamese citizens rounded up by the NVA and VC and murdered and buried in three mass graves.

    Pretty sure the self proclaimed war hero who abandoned his crew after only serving half of his tour of duty, John Kerry was involved in the Than Phong massacre. But they only murdered 21 civilians.

    Lt. Calley served with the Americal Div (23rd Div) in l-Corps under the command of the lll Marine Amphibious Force. By Tet of 68 the Americal Division already earned a reputation of being a pay back division. If Charley killed someone in a Americal Div they could expect some pay back.
    Same with the ROK Marines Blue Dragons Brigade and the ROK Army Tiger Division (not to be confused with the U.S. Army's Tiger Force)

    The My Lai incident was pay back.

    There were three types of VC during the Vietnam War. Main Force who wore uniforms and were armed as well as the NVA. The Regional VC and the VC who were guerrilla fighters who were farmers during the day and fighters at night. They wore the black pajamas.

    The "regional VC" were also the VC tax collectors and had a reputation of going in villages raping girls while collecting taxes (rice)

    The "Smedley Butler and imperialism" issue* is a good objectivity test. Objective truth-seekers will simply say any source, such as the US mainstream media, which doesn't depict the history of that time period in a way that's consistent with what Smedley Butler said is a propaganda source. Anyone who tap dances around the issue and tries to muddy the waters instead of addressing it ain't no objective truth-seeker.

    This expains most of those posters.

    I don't see where your two links fit in with the Vietnam War or even Smedley Butler.

    The first link is just a revised Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals."

    Second link just describes how George Soros and the Democrats pay snow flakes and people who have a useless degree in the liberal arts get paid to troll on the internet.

    Re: Smedley Butler'

    Wars are fought for four reasons, basically there are four types of wars, protective, punitive, pacification and profiteering. Smedley Butler's "War is a racket" is in reference to the Banana Wars in which most of the small wars were wars of profiteering mostly in interest of the banks, United Fruit Co. and the Stander Fruit Company.

    Here's exactly what Smedley Butler said.

    edit:
    Globalization is a racket.
