AGREE!!!!
I spent two involuntary tours in Vietnam in the U.S. Army between 1967 and
1979 and I witnessed atrocities such as cutting off ears of the dead,
burning down villages, shooting of water buffalo and ducks and rape. Those
in Vietnam who did not witness or perform such were probably garrison
troops in a headquarters unit.

Also, I spent some time at a place called Dong Tam in the Mekong Delta. You
could climb a short distance up the comms tower and look into Cambodia. It
was common knowledge that the boats there and troops WERE going into
Cambodia.

Welcome home, soldier and thank you. I'm glad for people like you and sorry we
have undesirables who would do such murderous things. It's no wonder many
Vietnam Vets can't talk to this day about their tour of duty there.
