“Would it be slanderous and/or libelous to say that members of the U.S. military, in a time of war, planned and carried out the rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl? And killed her family members?”

If it happened, not at all. The truth should be told and the perpetrators punished according to law.

If it didn’t happen, and the person who says that it did knows it didn’t happen, then yes, it might very well be.

Does this distinction, truth versus fiction, really elude you?,
