He carried that for ~50 years and then made sure no one ever forgot. I can only imagine the turmoil that must’ve caused him in life.

So many people assuming that he saw an old lady and just shot her for fun. With the nature of fighting Vietnam, it is infinitely more likely she was killed on accident

This could have as simple as accidentally pressing the trigger on a .50 cal while in a helicopter picking up wounded to one of the perpetrators of the My Lai Massacre. No way to know. I hope the lady and this man found peace in the beyond.

This post reminds me of a quote
“Not only will America go to your country and kill all your people… but what’s worse… they’ll come back 20 years later and make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers feel sad.”.

Worst part is that US continues to wage wars directly and through it’s proxies.

This is sad but not uncommon. Human history is riddled with war that has occurrences like this. Regardless of how messed up the world still is we do live in the best of times.

Americans don’t start wars for honorable reasons, and don’t look after the kids who are scarred for life by doing their dirty work.

I had to do a double take because I initially read “Gene Simmons.” That was the most confounding 5 seconds of my life.
