I guess if u really understand the events u mentioned in ur original post..u could figure out what I posted. But in an effort to be clear. No Gun Ri or No Gun Rhee was mostly bullshit and the idiot that first brought the story to the always reliable AP...wasn't even fucking there.
Ok... So it doesn't matter that president Clinton issued a
Statement of Regret on the issue and that the
joint investigation between the South Koreans and the Americans came to the conclusion that the American soldiers had caused a massacre. Even though the investigation came to the conclusion that yes, Americans used civilians as human shields, called, repeatedly, for air strikes against civilians and eventually fired at civilians it does not matter to you. What matters is that the jerkoff that broke the story to AP lied and therefore the story must be a lie.
The question here is: Did American soldiers fire at
innocent civilians at No Gin Ri? The answer is
YES. 248 people gunned down... maybe not in cold blood, maybe without orders from above, but killed nonetheless. What really strikes me as "odd" is how come none of these "American" soldiers never brought the story forth...
William Calley and his platoon committed an atrocity, that was stopped by other US troops...end of story.
End of story?? I'm speechless.
Calley's actions were in no way an isolated incident. YOU SHOULD FUCKING KNOW THAT. Take the CIA and Operation Phoenix for example. OP was a program developed in 1953 to torture and murder civilians in Vietnam. It ain't no secret. According to an army report discused in detail in
this website, American soldiers committed
820 atrocities in just a 2 day period.
As for Iraq...what are u pointing to..Haditha, where the witness ginned up a story months after it was investigated by the Marines, and finally got Time to buy off on it as factual. They were all found not guilty. Do u know that most of the poster boys for the current and small anti-war movement have been found to be full of shit. Guys who never served in combat, guys who got bounced from the military before completing bootcamp, guys who lied about what they saw...the list is endless. And the best part about all these losers is that u can request their records under FOIA and bamm...its all black and white. The milbloggers are absolutley committed to making sure what happened after Vietnam will never happen now. We won't loose our honor to the liberal douchbags like in the 1970's
As far as Iraq goes...
MSNBC.
USA Today.
More.
People killed in Fallujah by "frying" the person with white phosphorus (warning, strong images).
I could just post many more links to atrocities committed by other bodies of the US government, like the 1,000,000+ killed by the US government-imposed sanctions. Deaths Albright knew about very well and described as "terrible casualty"... all in your and my name! Can you fucking believe that?!
I mean, I don't want to sound like I am blaming the soldiers for this. Soldiers are being put in harm's way all the time now and some react in the most horrific ways imaginable. I do REFUSE to believe there is NO order from above though. For example, I seriously believe the following chick forced all those Iraqis to pose naked for the camera. I'll bet my left nut there were orders from above to carry out such an operation. Yet, the stupid idiot got set up and was served in a silver platter for all to see as the face of the crime, when we all know there was HIGHER UP involvement here:

And it's the same in every massacre, every rape, every shot in the head. Whoever is putting you in spot
x is doing so because he/she knows it is going to piss off people
y and it is going to evolve into ugly situation
z. How you react to situation
z is what defines whether you are a soldier defending your own life or a stone-cold killer in a uniform. DO NOT for a second forget who the fuck put you in that spot though.
