New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page.

corporate windfall.”

That is not My Lai.  It is another of the many American
crimes against humanity in Vietnam.

1) Any officer who believes the homefront lost the Vietnam War should be cashiered out for being a hopeless idiot.

2) After Saddam gave up his missiles and other weapons upon our demand and threat to invade, and then we invaded anyway I recall officers bragging that that was pretty smart to get him to disarm and then go ahead and attack.  Yeah, pretty smart if you only want to do this once and are without honor.  (Also, shooting 3 people in a lifeboat tied to a cruiser was also remarkable.)
