re: #801 Dark_Falcon

He said that our forces “ravaged the countryside in the manner of Genghis Khan”, which was a outright lie. The US did not engage in a campaign of mass slaughter and desolation. American troops built improvements wherever they went (just as they did in WWII and still do in Iraq and Afghanistan), and when we destroyed buildings, we paid to replace them. Kerry lied, don’t doubt it.

Is My Lai a lie or not?

Building improvements is one thing, I’m sure we did that. But you can replace buildings, you can’t replace people.
