JCP, nothing about war is civilized. US & UK military are the 1st in history to show any concern for the treatment of their sworn enemies. Simply admitting war is barbaric will not result in a more peaceful world because in fact Islamic fundamentalists have declared war on you & every American. Yes, Lt Calley's Mi Lai is a verified atrocity & no one is trying to defend it. However John Kerry told a bold faced lie when he recklessly accused ALL Vietnam vets of daily atrocities. He did it for his own personal gain, as he was running for his 1st political office in a very anti-war state.

I've heard some American journalists admit during intervening yrs that they wrote exaggerated, less than truthful reports from Vietnam. They snicker & say it was simply part of the anti-war protesters modus operandi at the time. Those journalists & John Kerry placed their own ambitions before the good name of millions of U.S. soldiers, who in fact were placing their lives on the line in order to fight a system that denies freedom of speech. Most Vietnam protesters were trying to rationalize their own personal refusal to defend liberty in the same way as their peers in Vietnam. Their journalistic lies were the visible signs of their inner guilt. Rather than admit their own weakness, their personal defense mechanisms insisted that their fellow Americans who were fighting in Vietnam must have less than noble reasons for doing so. They must be rapists, torturers & otherwise unsavory characters. Anyone who believes that the 2.6M American Vietnam vets committed those types of daily atrocities, are extremely gullible people who have swallowed John Kerry's "over the top" 1970s political campaign rhetoric.
