I highly recommend Kill Anything that Moves by Nick Turse. The My Lai massacre wasn't the exception, it was the rule. The true scale of rape and murder by U.S. forces - often against our supposed "allies" among civilian South Vietnamese - may never truly be known. But Turse has done an admirable job in trying to discern it.

No forgiveness. Get fucked, losers.
You realize a lot of these soldiers were drafted against their will, right?
The atrocities the American soldiers committed on the daily are unforgivable. Period. I don't care if they were drafted or if they volunteered for being barbarians.
A few years in jail for dodging the draft is better than committing crimes against humanity.
No one is drafted against their will, there are simply people that value their freedom to kill far more than others lives.
Yeah and these guys were like 18 that’s a crazy fucking choice to make as barely an adult.
And yet so many made the right choice.
Do you feel the same about the North Koreans fighting for Russia in Ukraine? Because the average American 18 year old is similarly brainwashed and uneducated...
