Ngo never witnessed any atrocities by American soldiers, neither did he hear of any American atrocities.

That proves that the Mai Lai massacre never happened. A lot of history books will have to be rewritten based on this article.

#2 My Lai was anecdotal and not policy. Being a (former?) air force officer you should know better.

#3 he did not believe a thing Kerry said about American troops, systematically committing war crimes.

C'mon Mike, you are smarter than that!

#4 That proves that the Mai Lai massacre never happened. A lot of history books will have to be rewritten based on this article.

It means that Ngo didn't witness or hear of any atrocities. No more, no less. You have done what you accuse others of, Mr. Sylwester.

He said he did not believe a thing Kerry said about American troops, systematically committing war crimes. He thinks Kerry fabricated this.

Mr. Ngo's opinion about Kerry's statements and actions is decisive!

#6 Mike, the key word in Ngo's statement is "systematically".

Nothing he or any of the others said implies that absolutely no war crimes were committed. Rather, what atrocities there were, were the actions of individuals or groups crossing the line. I've read statistics that the level of unacceptable actions by American troops was lower during the Viet Nam war than in any war previous. No doubt one of our experts can tell us if I understood correctly, and give comparitive numbers.

#7 Kerry's contention was that atrocities were committed systematically by the Americans in Viet Nam, and with the connivance of the entire chain of command. Do you actually believe that our civilization would breed men capable of that less than a generation after the liberation of Auschwitz and Dachau?

#8 Mr. Ngo's opinion about Kerry's statements and actions is decisive!

And it's also recorded in the article as his opinion.

All fled the purported utopia Vietnam was supposed to become according to Kerry and his anti-war colleagues. These people can attest to who is telling the truth -- ...

Kerry said Vietnam would become a utopia? We should ask Vietnam refugees whether Kerry was right when he said Vietnam would become a utopia? We should ask Vietnam refugees whether Kerry was right when he said US troops systematically committed atrocities? Do these Vietnam refugees really know what Kerry said?
