Vietnam War
I don't know what to say about Los Angeles Times report on alleged "atrocities" in the Vietnam War. Frankly, if it is true and the allegations are correct. Than John Kerry and any other Vietnam War politician should resign from their post. Kerry, most particulary, one, he admitted to being a war criminal. He should report to his nearest base and make a statement and resign almost immediately. Al Gore should cease from being in public light for failing to make reports based on what he seen as a newspaper reporter.
Then again, why now are these reports coming out now? Exactly what use will it serve to make these alleged findings? Except to make the arguement that our troop in the Middle East are committing war atrocities. Gotta funny feeling that may be it.

Alleged Reports:
VIETNAM: THE WAR CRIMES FILES
Declassified papers show U.S. atrocities went far beyond My Lai.
VIETNAM: THE WAR CRIMES FILES
Decades-old Pentagon records show that Army criminal investigators substantiated seven massacres of Vietnamese and Cambodian civilians by U.S. soldiers — in addition to the notorious 1968 My Lai massacre.
'Americans don't do things like this,' an officer thought when he learned of three villagers' deaths. His shock grew when the soldier convicted continued to serve.
Documents show troops who reported abuse in Vietnam were discredited even as the military was finding evidence of worse.
