yeah. My Lai comes to mind. Did you know that Lt William Calley was found guilty of 22 murders and sentenced to life in prison?? He served 3 years,under house arrest.
Even today people seem to be unaware that taking prisoners was not a convention followed by ANY side in Vietnam.
Plus some grunt on a 24 , wondering around Saigon would get handed a grenade by a ten year old child.
