Two Letters from Vietnam Vets on "Collateral Damage" in Iraq
Tom Engelhardt publishes two letters from Vienam Vets. Wade Kane writes: Killing innocent women and children is okay, "just" collateral damage.... If this is "okay," then why wasn't what Lt. Calley did in Vietnam okay? Similarly, why were Hiroshima and Nagasaki okay, but My Lai wasn't? Somehow, when our soldiers shoot innocents at close range we are appalled, but when it is done via bombs or artillery it's "okay."
