“There has never been an American army as violent and murderous as the one in Iraq”

“There has never been an American army as violent and murderous as the one in Iraq” By Martin Lukacs The McGill Daily

If Americans knew the full extent of U.S. criminal conduct, they would receive returning Iraqi veterans as they did Vietnam veterans, Hersh said.
"“In Vietnam, our soldiers came back and they were reviled as baby killers, in shame and humiliation,"” he said. "“It isn't happening now, but I will tell you -– there has never been an [American] army as violent and murderous as our army has been in Iraq."”

And so it begins formally, the tearing down of the US military. The circle for the press is complete, from Vietnam to Iraq. So predictable and so sad.
