Juan,
I understand where you went with this article and find it thoughtful. However, Your comment on Korean war atrocities caught me as not being correct. I have heard of few instances of troops committing atrocities in Korea; particularly when compared with what went on in Viet Nam. I agree that the Korean war was a mess from the beginning but that was do almost entirely to the leadership of Douglas MacArthur. The book "The Coldest Winter" by David Halberstam details the the true "atrocities" perpetrated by the US leadership. Unfortunately we now have similar leadership in the White House.
