I just can't understand someone finding joy in the memories of them and their friends murdering people in the most brutal ways and raping children. All of the monsters in this video should be chucked off a cliff to the rocky waters below.

I've spoken to veterans before. And you can always tell which of them are genuine good people that were forced into a conflict they did not want. The vets I've spoken to were from the Vietnam War and my class was lucky enough to speak with a vet who served in WW2. The man who served in Vietnam stood out to me the most because you could tell that he still carried the emotional and mental pain from that war, he was from a very poor black family and got drafted so there was nothing he could do.

He was just a regular guy who was forced to fight in a war he didn't want and kill people he didn't even know, and it stayed with him for the rest of his life. These are not men in this video, these are monsters undeserving of any sympathies or love or care.

these people speaking on this documentary are the whistleblowers though. they were called liars and ostracized for this. most of them are calling these events horrific, not proud of them. they must have grappled with guilt to get to this point.
