More Scars, Tears and Chains.
I’ll read your book, but I’m not looking forward to it. War crimes were also committed in Cambodia during the illegal war.
I’ve heard that more than 500,000 villagers were killed during the illegal bombing that took place. There was an article in my local paper written by a former pilot. He said that there should have been more bombing in order to free those people from the Khmer Rouge. Actually, it was the bombing that drove villagers (for safety) to join the Khmer Rouge, which was quite small at the time of the bombing.
Cambodians in the city also knew that the U.S. was bombing villagers along the Vietnam border. Hundreds of thousands of villagers ended up in Phnom Penh. When the Khmer Rouge entered the city and wanted people to evacuate quickly they would simply tell them the Americans bombers were coming.
It wasn’t only the bombing that contributed to the increase in size of the Khmer Rouge, but it was a major contributor. I’m sure there were also atrocities committed on the ground along the border as well. Has anyone written a detailed book about what happened along the Cambodia border?

You know the most dissappointing fact about war is that we never know exactly what is it made for and who wants it, and people keep dying in tortures for the sake of some fat guy getting a huge income and perls, golden beads and money….

Nick Turse is a joke! You would find a lot more grist for your war crimes mill if you would honestly look at what the Vietnamese suffered under communist war crimes. I will tell you just a few. In many small villages a father of a family of farmers would be told that his family is held hostage and he would see them after the war. The communists would force him to fight while his wife and children were used as mules along the Ho Chi Minh trail and most likely killed. Thousands and thousands of teachers, nurses, garbage collectors, tax collectors, village chiefs would be killed in order to cause the South Vietnamese government to collapse.
Unless any one knew any better they would think that the Vietnamese people ran to the communists for protection when in fact the largest majority of Vietnamese ran to the Americans or ARVN for protection against communist aggression.
Quang Tri and Quang Ngai were highly infiltrated communist areas Quang Tri was usually the turf of the NVA and Quang Ngai the turf of the VC with NVA support or manned by NVA late in the war. Women and children were quite often combatants in this war and were legal kills. Girls as young as 14 were excellent snipers at killing our boys and in 1969-70 the NVA were sending a great many 15-16 year olds as troops uniformed in the brown khaki of the NVA.
Americans by far were well behaved in this war especially compared with communist troops. I have never seen a US troop strap hand grenades and satchel charges to a 5 year old and told his mother would be killed if he didn’t make it to the Americans to be detonated.
