ISIS’s Atrocities In The Middle East Recall Viet Cong’s 1971 Duc Duc Massacre
Were the brutal terror tactics unleashed by the North Vietnamese Communists and their Viet Cong allies during the Vietnam War a precursor to the tactics used today by the Islamic State in the Middle East?
A number of Vietnam veterans think so, and they’ve been waging a little-known campaign to get the U.S. government to recognize a March 29, 1971, atrocity committed by the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong guerrillas when they burned down 800 village homes, many with the inhabitants huddling inside. At least 250 men, women and children were wounded or killed.
The mass incineration of the village of Duc Duc was never recognized as a war crime like the My Lai massacre in which U.S. Army Lt. William Calley was convicted of killing 22 Vietnamese villagers. Calley’s life sentence was announced the same day the communists attacked Duc Duc.
Nothing new. Stalin reportedly killed 50 MILLION people. Try finding one report or mention in NYT or any of the main stream press of the time, and they had 40 years to get to it but somehow never found the time. Now you let one US ally at the time jail couple of terrorists and the whole world would rise up.
7,600 civilians murdered in Hue by Vietnamese communists
Like I said, there are a lot of communists war crimes, Media rarely reported them. I have tremendous respect towards American veterans. Although the war is unpopular, I know they have helped and saved thousands of civilians.
