There is no good war. The best that war can be is a necessary war fought in defense. The last one of those the US was involved in ended over three quarters of a century ago.

So far there has not been a great deal of evidence to support many of these accusations, just one media outlet, owned by murdoch, doing a beat up to sell news. Not that there were no crimes, but there seems to be a lot of good reputations being destroyed with nothing but rumour. And soldiers are not cops, they're not trained and they're not expected to protect the public, but to kill the enemy. If someone has been shooting at you and just wounded or killed your mate I imagine it would be pretty difficult to accept their surrender.

I’m not surprised Australia made the list, my Dad didn’t think to get any of us kids anything from Vietnam like other Dads did. I’m sure I’m not the only one that saw kids wearing those military jackets. However he did bring back an Australian hat that he called a “birdie” that one of the Australians in his joint forces unit gave him as a gift. Of course it was too big for anyone but Dad to wear.
Interesting side note, did you know the Australians once declared war on emu’s?
It’s true, and the Australians lost.

War is not a John Wayne movie. For most people to someone to kill they don't know, the enemy has to be dehumanized. Once that is accomplished, people can do horrible things to each other. When you see your first friend(s)killed it gets even easier. There are no "good" wars. Unfortunately their are times, very rare IMO, when they are necessary to get involved in, though if you look closely, you can see how most are unnecessary (Iraq/Viet Nam) or avoidable (WWll). Basically, humanity sucks.
