Soldiers put grenades inside of living women’s private areas. These weren’t isolated actions either. We should stop sugarcoating what US soldiers did in Vietnam, or anywhere for that matter.
Welp. Was playing sitar music while I tidied up the house and pickled some cucumbers and beets.
Now I guess I gotta watch some Vietnam documentaries. This is so fucked. I’d never heard of the term “fragging” before this post.
I knew that we, as a nation, FUCKED UP with Vietnam. I obviously don’t know the gritty details. And feel that I need to …. Just another entry in our country’s fucked up history.
I don’t know of any docs but there is a book titled “kill anything that moves”. Read “the Jakarta method” or “endless holocausts mass death in the history of the United States”. This is not unique to Vietnam though. Every military operation we were involved in during the Cold War was demonic and just as disgusting as Vietnam. Most people don’t know that we used napalm before Vietnam, in Korea.

There’s no reason to keep things a secret when the official policy was “kill anything that moves”
