What is the circumstance surrounding what appears to have been a war crime? Of course, the war itself was criminal, a violation of international law -weak as it is. I can understand the unfortunate circumstance where our soldiers have to go through a door- not knowing what is on the other side and split second action is required. BUT, it does not appear the victims of the helicopter gunship were hostiles. They seem to be defenseless. Did anyone else report a likely war crime? What action was taken if a report was made? These are the questions that need to be answered in a court of law. —Ken Howland—a Vietnam Era Medic—who realized early by 1964 that war was also wrong…Basically,the majority of people in any nation do not want foreigners with guns on their soil most especially when the innocent are slaughtered.
