Most on death row are enlisted

>Master Sgt. Timothy Hennis was convicted in 2010 for the murder of a woman and two children near Fort Bragg, N.C., after twice being exonerated for the murders in civilian court. Hennis was first tried and convicted in 1986 in state court, but was later acquitted due to poor evidence and incongruous statements by the prosecuting attorneys. In 1989, Hennis was retried and acquitted. Yet, in April 2010, after being recalled to active duty service, Hennis was convicted and sentenced to death for triple murder after preserved DNA proved that Hennis was the killer.

also, why did Ernest Medina go free?

The heli crew that uncovered and stopped the massacre saw the asshole shoot a girl in the face after stomping on her. Calley told he got the orders from Medina to kill them all, and it was supported by a lot of other soldiers in his company, (who really hated Calley).

At least Calley got his reputation and name destroyed, and served some time of his sentence.

Medina didn't get shit, and he was just as much of a war criminal, if not more, as Calley.

>>31205507

Because he did nothing wrong.
The idea of waging war without doing any harm to the enemy population is absurd.

collateral damage is the unintentional killing of civillians. As in bombing a city to destroy its production facilities, civilians die too, but they are not the target.

My Lai was specifically targeting civillians.

Counter insurgency works by ultimately addressing the root causes.

He was such a bad officer that some of the men serving under him wanted to kill him. Army sweepped in all under to rug so that they wouldn't have to acknowledge the fact that someone like him had gone through the cracks and made it to officer. They still don't and that's why these things keep happening and army keeps losing good men due to incompetence.

>>31211686
>Butthurt democrats get voted into office
>Cut ALL aid to South Vietnam

The Paris Accords made no mention of aid to South Vietnam from the US, the promise of replacement aid for military equipment was a verbal promise by Nixon to compel the SV negotiators to sign the agreement, thus giving Nixon his "peace with honor".

The Democrats running Congress have zero relevance to this so-called "cutting" of aid, the US government had zero obligation to aid South Vietnam after the Paris Accords.

>I, Pvt. Eddie D. Slovik, 36896415, confess to the desertion of the United States Army. At the time of my desertion we were in Albuff [Elbeuf] in France. I came to Albuff as a replacement. They were shelling the town and we were told to dig in for the night. The following morning they were shelling us again. I was so scared, nerves and trembling, that at the time the other replacements moved out, I couldn’t move. I stayed there in my fox hole till it was quiet and I was able to move. I then walked into town. Not seeing any of our troops, so I stayed over night at a French hospital. The next morning I turned myself over to the Canadian Provost Corp. After being with them six weeks I was turned over to American M.P. They turned me loose. I told my commanding officer my story. I said that if I had to go out there again I'd run away. He said there was nothing he could do for me so I ran away again AND I'LL RUN AWAY AGAIN IF I HAVE TO GO OUT THERE.
