It is the governments that are evil. Fortunately these 2 stood up for what is right, and refused to kill un-armed people. Too bad Israel does not live upto their standard.None of you even know who Hugh Thompson was, do you?

Sigh.

He was the US Army Warrant Officer in a helicopter which came into a small village called My Lai as Lt Caley and his crew of thugs were slaughtering Vietnamese women and children, and told the butchers to stop it or he would have his gun crews open fire upon them (even though they were fellow American soldiers). He and his crew managed to evacuate with the dozen or so survivors, out of the hundreds that were massacred.
Yep, read it in the book My Lai. A person such as Thompson was ready to go against people in his own uniform for the lives of the innocence.
