Yes, it's always someone's buddy or relative that "said that was true" however, there's just no evidence that it was. Vietnam was not a communications desert where you could just mow down civilians every day while traveling from place to place in a helicopter. When civilians were deliberately killed in Mai Lai, other soldiers stepped up and stopped it. Vietnam complained. There was a huge investigation. It was a big deal.

In Somalia during the Blackhawk Down battle all the civilians around were attacking the conveys and they shot back. Totally different scenario. They did not randomly shoot civilians while traveling from place to place in a helicopter.

Hey man, I’m conveying 2nd hand accounts from real marines from different situations. My brother in law was in the army and was a contractor in Iraq/afghanistan.
Buddy served in the marines in Somalia.
Uncles served in marines and army in vietnam.

A lot of their stories make the gunner in full metal jacket completely believable. Im sorry if that is too much to take.

Not saying your wrong, just goes against what I’ve heard from relatives and friends who served.

What do I know, I’m just a squid!
