Revisionist history and Vietnam

[gollygee]

The lastest smear I'm hearing is that Kerry and the whole Winter Soldier group basically made up their testimony about atrocities and that US soldiers were all nice guys and never did anything wrong. Or that the talk of atrocities is greatly overstated. They're going to say he lied when he said atrocities were committed.

I HATE revisionist history. HATE IT.

Anyway, I think this is what's coming next and we should be gathering evidence that yes indeed bad things did happen in Vietnam.

Here are a couple of links I've gathered. Does anyone have any really good links regarding atrocities in Vietnam?

1. all of us who lived during that time

know what happened. history is being rewritten for those who were either babies or hadn`t been born. this war has been covered up for years or should i say wanted to be forgotten because of the deep division it caused in the united states. there are still people who carry the wounds everyday....

2. My Lai's did not happen every day but...

Some atrocious act, somewhere in the jungle or in some village was happening every day. Whether it was rape, killing children, burning hootches, cutting off ears or genitals, throwing people out of helicopters, or pissing on their rice, something was happening everyday that nobody was called on or nobody cared...
