Your hate for america is shining.....Zim


The civil war? you want to get into it......?


So what zim is saying freeing the slaves was not worth dieing for....HUH?


I beg to differ......

You are a fool. Civil war had nothing to do with slaves at the start. That only came later on in the war. Both armies north and south would loot towns they took over to "fund" the war and there pockets. Women were raped and towns were burned to the ground.

Vietnam..... we went in with a noble mission...it went bad cause of the left wing nut job weaking our resolve to win...alla Jane Fonda.

Zim you forgot to mention the killing fields? why?

I didn't say anything about how it started or ended. Don't change course on me.

Verified Civilian Slayings

August 6, 2006

Decades-old Pentagon records show that Army criminal investigators substantiated seven massacres of Vietnamese and Cambodian civilians by U.S. soldiers â?? in addition to the notorious 1968 My Lai massacre.

Here are summaries of three of those incidents, drawn from files of the Vietnam War Crimes Working Group.

Sept. 29, 1969

E Company, 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry, 196th Light Infantry Brigade, 23rd Infantry Division

Members of a reconnaissance platoon swept through the Que Son Valley, burning homes, slaughtering animals and clearing civilians. They killed an unarmed boy standing outside a cluster of huts and fired into one of the dwellings, killing three women and three or four children, according to an investigative report. The soldiers then executed an elderly woman and a baby.

The unit reported the victims as enemy killed in action.

In the next few days, members of the platoon raped a woman and a young girl and executed civilian detainees, investigators determined.

Pvt. Davey V. Hoag said he reported the killings to an officer but was ignored. Two and a half years later, he gave information to Army investigators at Ft. Lewis, Wash.

"The other guys wouldn't listen when I tried to stop them from shooting everything," Hoag said in a sworn statement. Other soldiers corroborated his account.

The investigation found sufficient evidence to charge seven soldiers with murder, rape or dereliction of duty. By then, at least four had left the service, and the Army declined to pursue charges against them.

A private still on active duty was charged with two counts of murder. He denied killing civilians. His commanding general, Maj. Gen. Robert C. Hixon, withdrew the charges, citing insufficient evidence, and gave the private an undesirable discharge.

Investigators said the evidence also supported a dereliction of duty charge against the platoon leader for failing to report the civilian deaths. The platoon leader said he had not heard about the deaths or any other war crimes by his soldiers. His commander decided against disciplinary action, citing insufficient evidence.

March 16, 1968

B Company, 4th Battalion, 3rd Infantry, 23rd Infantry Division

On the same day as the massacre at My Lai, soldiers from the same division killed an undetermined number of women and children in neighboring My Khe.

Witnesses told investigators that soldiers tossed grenades into shelters and shot women and children as they ran for cover or tried to flee. Over the next three days, members of the unit burned three sub-hamlets to the ground and tortured detainees with electric shocks, records say.

Officially, the unit said it killed 39 enemy combatants but recovered no weapons and suffered no casualties. Official South Vietnamese sources put the death toll at 80 to 90 noncombatants. Evidence of the killings surfaced during the My Lai inquiry, and the Army launched an investigation.

Platoon leader Lt. Thomas K. Willingham told an investigator that his troops had come under enemy fire and that he knew of no "unnecessary killings." He was charged with murder, but the charges were dropped on the advice of Army legal officers, who cited uncooperative witnesses and contradictory testimony. Other suspects had left the service and charges were not pursued.

A separate inquiry found a soldier had executed a boy during the assault on My Khe. The soldier, who had left the service, was not charged.

May 18, 1971

Troop A, 1st Squadron, 9th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division

A U.S. helicopter "hunter-killer" team attacked a village in Cambodia with rockets and machine-gun fire, killing eight civilians, including two children, and wounding 15.

The team reported that they saw what appeared to be flashes of automatic weapons fire and "a number of motorcycles and bicycles" that looked like an enemy convoy. An Army investigation, however, found no reasonable basis for the attack.

After the assault, a U.S. captain landed with a platoon of South Vietnamese troops but "did not search bunkers for enemy forces," according to an investigative summary. "Nor were enemy weapons or other war materiel found."

The troops provided no medical treatment to the wounded and made off with "large quantities of civilian property, including tobacco, poultry, and radios, and the US cpt returned to the aircraft with a motorcycle."

The captain gave the motorcycle to his squadron commander, and "the incident was neither properly investigated or reported initially."

A captain, a major and a lieutenant colonel received letters of reprimand. No one was prosecuted, according to Army records.

[delusionsofNORMALity]

Howdy delusion,

America has thrown billions of dollars at ignorance and poverty,not only here,but around the world..but it still happens,anyhow. When ya say "a contented population",that makes me think of a population that's asleep at the wheel. Our country has become divided,because yer side is content to enjoy the freedom that you have already,while at the same time,y'all are making excuses for those who choose to commit violence against others..yer side even believes that America deserves it and that the innocents who perished on 9/11/01,were most deserving,because they are 'little eichmanns'.

According to yer logic,we shouldn't have stuck our noses in,when saddam invaded Kuwait,that we should have just looked away,while saddam's troops were looting,raping and pillaging.

Have a good one ...

please don't lump me in with the peace at any cost, touchy feely, money for nothing crowd. i may be an aging hippie, but i'm no foole.
i know you can't rid the country of poverty by throwing money around, it takes a change in attitude (which can be engineered). shouldn't we try to rid ourselves of corruption before we go out and save the world? we protect the rich, ignore the poor, and squeeze the middle for all it's worth. we could give the poor a chance for advancement and we could educate the ignorant, but then the power hungry would have to share (we can't have that, now can we). the division that should concern us is between the haves and have-nots, now between the hawks and the doves.
that "yer side" you keep harping on troubles we a bit as well. granted, there are many believe we have brought this mess on ourselves and they are not entirely wrong. as we run around the world enforcing our way of life on everyone we meet, we can't help but make a few enemies (no, i am not making excuses for any motherfucker who would dare to attack us). we have propped up violent regimes all around the world, who are we to decide which ones to destroy and which to tolerate. aiding our friends around the world is all well and good, but declaring war on someone just because we deem them unfriendly has never been in our best interest.
in short, we just can't afford to police the whole damn world. our morality is not shared by everyone and forcing them to bend to our will by force never has worked and probably never will.



yeah, it's all pie in the sky shit, but it never hurts to dream.

They are now up to 50 out of 72 signatures needed to start his impeachment. :thumbsup:

..yer side even believes that America deserves it and that the innocents who perished on 9/11/01,were most deserving,because they are 'little eichmanns'. No not America, Our leaders and corporations and the plutocrats that actually run the government. The Americans (Most of us) are a patriotic bunch that see our country being taken over by warmongering Neocons financed and directed by multinational corporations. And we know that is not good for anyone but the rich. So if you are rich, more of the same would be in order, if not, maybe it's time for a change
