I'm sorry, but you completely missed the point of what I was saying. I'm not American, so I have nothing to save face for. And 'massacres happen' is not a caveat, it is a fact. Civilians get massacred in every single war. And the military organizations involved still try to cover it up. Consider the Haditha massacre in Iraq in 2008. A group of US Marines killed 24 civilians. And yet, despite all the tough talk about My Lai and how it's completely unacceptable, two things came out of Haditha: - the US military tried to cover it up as soon as it happened. - nobody served any time for their role in the massacre. And again, as I said to conclude my last post. "The truly fucked up part is that there are likely many massacres that have never been reported." I don't understand how that constitutes rationalizing something. Rather, as a society, we must celebrate the people who stop these massacres and human rights violations because they still happen. They have always happened.
