Mike, You don’t give it up do you, fool? What do you mean I have sympathy for William Calley? He was a war criminal. His unit, the Americal Division was by far the worst American army unit of that war or probably most other ones. But contrary to the lies of the left, My Lai was a horrible aberration. It was not Standard Operating procedure then or now for the American military to murder non combatants.
I bet you have more sympathy and understanding than I do for the NVA units in Hue City in the Tet offensive who murdered 2000 South Vietnamese civilians and buried them in a mass grave. I bet you have more sympathy and understanding for the Khmer Rouge who killed people in Cambodia for wearing glasses which proved they were intellectuals.
I remember reading Todd Gitlin’s book “The Sixties” In one chapter he has this poignant comment about some failed romance at a demonstration in DC.It was laughable. Yeah we were all affected differently and strongly by that period.
