Soldiers life threatened by his own side.

[Annik]

My brother has never even shot at anyone, he has been in service for four years now. A military (in theory) is primarily for defense. Your kind of thinking is what led to the Vietnam War veterans being ostracized upon their return.

Unfortunately, the protection of war criminals like Calley served only to amplify that. "Baby killers" became a common epithet after My Lai.

I often wonder if that was a more calculated choice than how it looks at first glace. As if it was some sick campaign to send moral plummeting. I could be over-thinking it, of course.
