"Some of the dead were mutilated by having "C Company" carved into their chests; some were disemboweled. One GI would later say, "You didn't have to look for people to kill, they were just there. I cut their throats, cut off their hands, cut out their tongues, scalped them. I did it. A lot of people were doing it and I just followed. "

I stand by my belief stated above- I've read the link (actually, I had read it before)and I still don't believe it. It is too pat, too storybook. As I said, no such charges were made during the My Lai investigation. That goes waaaaay beyond simple war criminal activity.

I have not read David Wallechinsky's book, 'The 20th Century'- being the son of Irving Wallace, I presume he is a serious, conscientious writer. I also suspect that those words above are not in his book. I'm going to find out. If I'm wrong, I'll post it later.
