And only one was tried. His sentence was changed from life in prison to 3 years house arrest by Nixon. How the fuck is that possible? I would understand they would try to sweep this under the table, but it was a well known incident, such a thing that they should lock up everyone involved and throw away the keys just to show No, we do not do such things, THEY DO.
Also reminder that there were those that actively tried stopping it, and iirc, a helo pilot ordering the door gunner to shoot his own troops of they would fire upon civilians.
He was, or course, court martialled for this. Not sure how it initially ended, it’s been a while since I read about it.
reminder that the people who did this are still alive, have opinions and vote.

Colonialist warfare is just a laundry list of war crimes perpetrated against an “other” - and you can’t commit war crimes without war criminals.
