Why didn't the author include the final casualty count of the dead civilians caused by the Vietnam War? The stats are available, accompanied by horrific photos of children running and screaming with their clothes burned off after the destruction of their village, following one of our "precision" bombing raids. Oh yes, I forgot those images make us look like the blood thirsty invaders we are. We need to have the PR behind us that we are moral "freedom fighters" fighting for the liberty of the poor people we are bombing, but don't worry, because we are using "smart bombs" or "smart munitions that only kill the bad guys."
That is BS!
I recall that we estimated that for every US soldier killed in the Vietnam War, 10 enemy soldiers died, and for every enemy soldier that died, 10 Vietnamese civilians died. So much for your pornographic "precise" weapons of war! And don't try to tell me that the new targeting information is so accurate that it knows who is actually in those buildings we bomb, or who happens to be driving by or walking by those buildings at the moment of impact. Those are only stories that US intelligence officials tell themselves to sleep at night.
After this current regime has ended (hopefully NLT January 2029, not only the DOJ needs complete sweeping and airing out, but also the Department of Defense (or War, whatever) needs it just as bad. The complete upper echelon of generals and admirals need to be put on war trials, just like Nuremberg. At least they should know that the orders they followed were - and are - illegal.
Kegseth is a political clown, but Caine is one of the worst offenders.
The Coast Guard needs some cleaning out, also. All the military who have and are participating in blowing unidentified seacraft our of the water in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific.
From a Vietnam Veteram: There's no such thing as a "precision" explosion. There's also no way to differentiate a male or female adult civilian from a enemy soldier that isn't wearing a uniform. Civilians are killed in wars. Some by accident. Some deliberately. Just ask the Germans, Japanese, British, French, Dutch & Chinese. American civilians haven't known war since 1865. We live in a bubble.
