re: #467 Lupin
You may well be correct, but that is not the impression given by the articles Iāve read.
Let me translate a passage from the one I linked to, which is among the least ācontroversialā:
By āmilitantsaā I assume they mean āterroristsā.
While there were no gang rapes and mutilations here, according to wiki, 22 people were killed in My Lai; even subtracting the terrorists youāre talking about 45 dead civilians here.
Maybe the analogy isnāt correct, but you donāt seem to realize the impact on public opinion this is having.
The My Lai massacre involved the deaths of hundreds of civilians, estimates ranging from around ~350 to 500.
Not tens of people during a massive firefight. Hundreds of people executed.
