Thread Name: Another Vietnam Massacre Emerges
Subject: RE: Another Vietnam Massacre Emerges
I would like to point out that the Viet Cong were in the habit of retrieving weapons, dead comrades, and hiding them under, in and around hootches in very elaborate tunnel systems, leaving the appearance of non combatant bodies in field. They also murdered US soldiers who were wounded and captured. There were repeated occasions where the NVA dug up recently deceased (from disease)bodies of civilians Women, Children, Old men, etc; and blew them appart with grenades. Then sprinkled cattle blood on them, took photos and used them to accuse US troops of atrocities. Not to mention they regularly murdered teachers, priests, village officials, and non communist dissidents; and used them the same way. To accuse the US of murder in that war, is exactly the opposite of the "kettle calling the pot black". Yours, Aye. Dave
