The United States has conducted its 17th lethal strike against a suspected drug vessel, killing all three on board, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on X overnight.
At least 347 and up to 504 civilians, almost all women, children, and elderly men, were murdered by U.S. Army soldiers
Some of the women were gang-raped and their bodies mutilated, and some soldiers mutilated and raped children as young as 12. The incident was the largest massacre of civilians by U.S. forces in the 20th century.
The killing began while the troops were searching the village for guerillas, and continued after they realized that no guerillas seemed to be present. Villagers were gathered together, held in the open, then murdered with automatic weapons, bayonets, and hand grenades; one large group of villagers was shot in an irrigation ditch. Soldiers also burned down homes and killed livestock.
The massacre was originally reported as a battle against Viet Cong troops, and was covered up in initial investigations by the U.S. Army.
Twenty-six soldiers were charged with criminal offenses, but only Lieutenant William Calley Jr., the leader of 1st Platoon in C Company, was convicted. He was found guilty of murdering 22 villagers and originally given a life sentence, but served three-and-a-half years under house arrest after his sentence was commuted.
The leniency of people who do such acts is why we have the world we have now. From the Revolutionary War to The Civil War to the World Wars, going soft on evil results in others finding new and horrific ways to commit evil, knowing they will face little to no consequences.
It is why I advocate for putting ICE on trial as a class, then executing anyone paid for serving as ICE in some capacity. It isn’t great that we can’t put everyone through a full trial, but only 210ish nazis were executed at Nuremberg. Society will need ICE thoroughly removed, else they will continue the Confederacy’s work for centuries to come.
War crime kinda buys into the lie that these are wartime actions. These are crimes against humanity and straight up state-directed murder.
It doesn’t have to be an official war to be a war crime. Vietnam was never a declared war but My Lai was obviously a war crime.

Oh my fucking god.

the country that couldn’t even hold Nixon accountable, let alone their current pedophile in chief, is never going to hold ICE accountable.
