> This is a Massacre, Not a War in Iraq

Dear Sam,

Thank God that there are men like you who are not afraid to tell the truth. It is so dreadful what we are doing to those poor innocent people. It is a repeat of what we did in Vietnam. I spent seven years in Vietnam throughout most of the war. I was a refugee advisor in the Mekong Delta and I witnessed on a regular basis the systematic slaughter of poor innocent Vietnamese. They wanted no part of the war. They told me countless times that it was not their war. It was a struggle between the U.S., Russia and China. They were the pawns in a ruthless power play.

There were several Special Forces A-camps in the province. They would fire artillery shells at random into the countryside. Frequently they would hit a village killing everyone. The sight was horrible. But what was more horrible were the napalm drops. Human torches would race about screaming. However the White Phosphorus was even more dreadful. I shudder simply thinking about it.

Senator Kerry was right on target. There was widespread atrocities committed by our troops. The reason that many Vietnam veterans deny this is because 70% were locked up in huge military bases and knew nothing of Vietnam. The 30% combat troops committed horrible crimes and they’ll admit it if confronted. They all carried packs of photos about in their wallets of dreadful atrocities they committed and posed for.
