Anyone for some Vietnam?

Body counts and disputed totals

(the US military) said all the dead were militants, although eyewitnesses are quoted saying that many were civilians.


So, how exactly do you bomb a couple of villages and know for a certainty that all the people you killed were "insurgents"?

I wonder how long before Rumsfeld starts channeling McNamara and talking about "hearts and minds".

Speaking of which, check out The Fog of War. The echoes of Vietnam have only gotten louder since its original release.
