1. Yes. There Were Atrocities in Vietnam

And Kerry had the guts to testify about them. The revelations of some of these vets were horrific.

Of course the Bushco chickenhawks never experienced them. How Bush and Cheney can turn on Kerry, who actually had the guts to serve, both amazes and disgusts me.

2. How can they be SO pissed?
Some of the atrocities are not only recorded officially, but allegedly used for instruction-

BROUSSARD, La. (AP) -- In 1968, Army helicopter pilot Hugh C. Thompson Jr. set down his chopper and put a stop to one of the darkest episodes in U.S. military history: the massacre of Vietnamese civilians at My Lai.

Thompson and his crew rescued villagers from U.S. soldiers who were forcing women, children and old men into a ditch and killing them.

Those actions are now a basic part of every Army soldier's education. Thompson speaks to servicemen in all branches of the military and lectures future Army officers at West Point every year on a key military imperative: Report wrongdoing by fellow soldiers....
