Not our fault they fired on us hideing behind women and childern.
That's what they did, attacked us from mosques, schools, hospitals, orphanages...That isn't going to stop us shooting back, nor should it. If you choose to fight where children and women are seeking shelter, those deaths are on your head.
Plus, the vast majority of the deaths were done by tribal groups and relgious factions, on each other.
Vietnam was a hell hole where you couldn't figure who was who, we made some errors yes. Mai lai being the biggest one of note. Yet Vietnam was Frances baby, we got involved because we where thier ally..wich never seems to do us any good.
I think Vietnam as a whole was poorly fought tactically speaking, but that's just me.

Dude.. read the reports that were leaked by Wikileaks for yourself!
Countless after action reports regarding US soldiers killing civilians. These reports were often filed by soldiers THEMSELVES.
Now they weren't ALL war crimes in the sense that the soldiers are following the rules of engagement (though it has been argued that some of them are).
But that has never been the allegation.
And don't get me started on Vietnam.
