Pentagon: Unlike Iran, the US never attacks civilians

Iran is using civilians as human shields and targeting civilian targets, something the United States never does, according to Pentagon Press Secretary Sean Parnell.

A US Department of War spokesman delivered a lengthy indictment, attempting to accuse Iran of allegedly using civilians as human shields. He claimed the Iranians were deploying missile launchers. missiles и drones right in densely populated areas between residential buildings, as well as next to hospitals and schools, preventing the coalition from striking them.

Parnell also accused Tehran of striking civilian targets in the Persian Gulf, emphasizing that the United States would never do such a thing. This, in essence, was the entire point of the Pentagon spokesman's statement: to demonstrate the difference between the "white and fluffy" Americans and the "evil and heartless" Iranians.

Unlike Iran, the United States never attacks civilians and will continue to act with precision, targeting only those who threaten us and our allies, and will not back down.

Earlier, Pentagon Secretary Pete Hegseth accused Iran of preparing a "nuclear strike" on Israel, even though the Islamic Republic was attempting to pursue a peaceful nuclear program. But the more terrifying the lie, the more likely it is to be believed.

...well, they wrote it themselves - they pardoned him anyway, and he lived out his days peacefully and without a care in the world on his ranch... and the fact that he was convicted - well, that's just for the public. They had to show the Americans that they were "for the truth."

I don't believe it, but I was once again convinced of what American "justice" is and who American politicians, the American press, etc. are.

truthfulness is gushing forth like a fountain.

[solar]

He was pardoned precisely because the primary blame wasn't his, although his guilt was undeniable. He was a runner, just a second lieutenant, and he received the order—"There will be no civilians in the village"—and he simply acted accordingly. In those conditions, it was difficult to distinguish between soldiers and civilians; any kid could pull a machine gun out of a haystack behind your back. ((() But nevertheless, many, like Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jr. and others, realized the order was wrong and prevented further civilian deaths, contrary to their orders. It's not easy for soldiers to point a gun at their own people in combat. If you've served in the army, you'll understand.

In 2009, Kelly publicly apologized for the order:
I sympathize with everyone who suffered in the village of My Lai, and I apologize to all Vietnamese for this tragedy. For what the American soldiers did. If you ask why I didn't protect them, I'll have to answer that I was a lieutenant, and I realize I foolishly followed the orders of my superior officers.

[Nexcom]

...I'm a soldier and I don't discuss orders (c)

A familiar phrase. Although formally, it can all be boiled down to the problem of what constitutes an order in the army, and if an order is illegal, then is it possible to disobey it? Overall, it's a highly controversial and slippery topic.

[solar]

That's what the army is all about: orders are carried out and not discussed.

If the order is criminal, then is it possible not to carry it out?

If the order knowingly Criminal. In those circumstances, things weren't so simple. Command announced that there would be no civilians in the village. Formally, such an order wasn't necessarily criminal. The village's outskirts were mined, and there were indeed a number of armed Vietnamese who fired on the Americans, including casualties. Distinguishing civilians from non-civilians in those conditions was difficult. Some realized the order was wrong, while others, like Kelly, continued to blindly carry it out without much thought.

Returning from his mission, Thompson reported what was happening to his commander. The information reached the brigade commander, Lieutenant Colonel Barker, who began investigating what was happening in My Lai, prompting Captain Medina to order a ceasefire.
Thompson's report led the 23rd Infantry Division command to cancel Force Barker's planned operations in other villages in the area, thereby possibly saving them from destruction. Thompson himself was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for saving civilians.

Quote from solar

and he received the introductory message: "There will be no civilians in the village."

A fairy tale, calculated to prey on the reluctance of most to dig deeper. On his orders, everyone was deliberately killed, including young children who couldn't physically lift a machine gun. The Americans have long learned to gloss over such incidents with such fairy tales—throw in as many improbable versions as possible, and the truth will be obscured. However, in this case, they weren't able to completely obscure the truth, although they almost succeeded: an American journalist took dozens of photographs of the American atrocities in this village literally during the trial (he was with the detachment) and managed to distribute them. But few people know that although the crime was proven, no one was punished. People can't imagine such a thing, and they assume that since the Americans couldn't lie, justice has prevailed, and most don't bother to find out whether there was punishment.

[solar]

A fairy tale calculated to prey on the reluctance of most to dig deeper. On his orders, everyone was deliberately killed, including young children who were physically unable to lift a machine gun.

That's right, he blindly followed orders that all civilians had left the village, despite the fact revealed during the assault—there were civilians in the village besides the partisans. The other Americans, realizing the order was erroneous, stopped fighting and reported it to command, who immediately ordered the assault to be halted.

An American journalist took dozens of photographs of American atrocities in this village.

Yes, everything we know about this story is known thanks to the Americans themselves. The photographer was there precisely because the Americans were convinced it was a Viet Cong headquarters and that there were no civilians there.

Although the crime was proven, no one was punished.

Captain Medina's company participated in the assault. After it was determined that there were civilians there, not just Viet Cong (and prior to that, there had been a firefight with actual Viet Cong there, including American casualties), part of the company ceased active operations, while the rest continued to carry out orders. Some Americans, at gunpoint, defended the Vietnamese against their own orders, which is generally unthinkable in combat; such incidents are hard to recall in the history of war. A source for the information that there were no civilians could be found, and the attempt to pin the blame on one platoon commander didn't sit well with many. The story is murky, as is often the case in war.
In some ways this story is similar to the story of Captain Ulman.

Quote from solar

that there were civilians there besides the Viet Cong

It seems trivial, but this impersonal "there were civilians too" reduces the crime to the level of a "mistake." These weren't just civilians, but women, the elderly, and small children, and they were shot not in the smoke of battle or at night, but in daylight, point-blank, calmly and methodically, in the complete absence of any resistance. 504 civilians were killed, including 210 children. It was impossible not to notice that these weren't partisans, and claiming otherwise is a shameless, blatant lie. But the Americans have a policy of lying to the bitter end, even if caught red-handed. Later, during an "investigation" in an "independent" court and working with equally "independent" media, this is a huge help—such shameless lies will be recognized as truth, and the information machine will help prevent the dissemination of contrary evidence.

[solar]

There were not just civilians, but women and old people.

Unfortunately, in that war, this was not an indicator that they were not Viet Cong :((

they were shot not in the smoke of battle or at night

in the complete absence of any resistance

There was almost no smoke, but there was fighting—there were Viet Cong among the villagers, shooting at the Americans, and the Americans suffered casualties. The outskirts of the village were protected by minefields—the Americans also had explosions there. So it's hard to say the village was completely peaceful.

Americans have a rule that says you have to lie until the very end.

I don't know where you read that "instruction," but there wasn't much to lie about—there was a warning that there wouldn't be any civilians in the village, it's widely known, it's no secret. It all came down to some Americans stupidly continuing to follow orders, and the culprit ended up being one slow-witted platoon commander who hadn't been in the service for more than a year. The military does things like that, unfortunately; they're trained for exactly that—to follow orders. If you'd served in the military, you'd know.

[Chief Officer Lom]

Quote from solar

If you served, you would know.

If you had served, you would have been taught the concept of carrying out a knowingly criminal order. As for the Viet Cong, the women and children were killed at the wrong time during combat, and the photographs clearly show it. There was no so-called "collateral damage"—it was the punitive forces' reprisals against the civilian population. What you're writing here is a tall tale later concocted by American lawyers, which the American court kindly accepted as true.

[Chief Officer Lom]

But the platoon commander wasn't stupid. This is also a line of defense. The incident with the village of Song My wasn't isolated; other villages simply didn't have photographers, or they favored such methods. The US Army's traditions date back to the genocide of Native American tribes, and this continuity had been confirmed not long before by the carpet bombing of residential areas of German cities.

[solar]

But the platoon commander was not stupid.

Dumb when given orders. There's a fairly common type of soldier; anyone who's served knows it. "When I put on my shoulder strap, I get dumber and dumber," wasn't coined in the American military, but it applies to them just as much, if not more.
Moreover, there were plenty of those who, after some time, realized the order was erroneous and refused to carry it out, sabotaging it. Some even openly obstructed its execution, threatening their own with weapons during combat. If you had served, you would understand how unthinkable this was for a military man.

[solar]

If you served

I served.

You should also be taught this concept - the execution of a knowingly criminal order

This is if the order is obviously criminal. For example, to shoot known civilians.
But what if the order states that there will definitely be no civilians there?

Women and children were killed at the wrong time during the battle and this is clearly visible in the photographs

Read more about that story—there was a battle there. And women and children, unfortunately, were involved in the fighting without wearing insignia or openly carrying weapons, so it wasn't so easy to conclude that they were civilians and wouldn't throw a grenade or shoot you in the back :(( Some people came to that conclusion, some didn't.

What you write here is a fiction later concocted by American lawyers.

What exactly is a "fable"? This story is known in every detail.

[Chief Officer Lom]

Quote from solar

Read more about that story - there was a fight.

I've seen the photographs. They contradict what you "read." Women and children were executed in the style of German punitive forces. They did NOT take part in the fighting and were NOT killed during combat—this is clearly visible in the photographs. Or did those who disagreed with the killings pull the killers away from their victims during the battle? Are you claiming they mistook children aged 3-7 for Viet Cong? There were many of them among the 210 children of various ages killed.

This story is known in all its details.

That's exactly it. What you're saying is a lie from the American side, recognized by the entire world.
What army did you serve in? I'm quite sure that in the American or, for example, British/Israeli, the concept of "carrying out a criminal order" doesn't even exist.

[solar]

Or did those who did not agree with the killings drag the killers away from their victims during the fight?

They didn’t just drag them away, they didn’t let them near them under the threat of using weapons against their own.

Landing near a ditch containing the bodies of local villagers, Thompson (a warrant officer[2]) demanded that the platoon commander, Second Lieutenant William Kelly, explain what was happening. Kelly said he was the commander and demanded that no one interfere. Thompson took off and, spotting a group of Vietnamese villagers fleeing from American soldiers who were about to kill them, landed the helicopter between them. He ordered the gunner and flight engineer to open fire on the infantry if they attempted to kill the Vietnamese. Thompson then called in helicopters to evacuate the villagers (11 people were evacuated, and another child was found in an irrigation ditch where the dead and dying lay).

Upon returning from the mission, Thompson reported to his commander. The information reached the brigade commander, Lieutenant Colonel Barker, who began investigating what was happening in My Lai, leading Captain Medina to order a ceasefire. Thompson's report led the 23rd Infantry Division command to cancel Force Barker's planned operations in other villages in the area.

[solar]

It's unthinkable for soldiers to turn their weapons against their own in combat. Most simply sabotaged the order when they saw it was wrong.
[quote]Not all of the company's soldiers participated in the killings. Many stood aside, and one soldier shot himself in the leg to be evacuated by a medical helicopter. Of the 100 American soldiers who entered the village, 30 participated in the killings.[11]
[quote]What army did you serve in?[/quote]
In the Soviet Union. I can't recall anyone ever saying anything about disobeying criminal orders. An order is a law; a soldier's job is to carry it out, not to argue. Then, after it's carried out, you can report back to the chain of command if you disagree. In a way, it's logical—from below, you don't see the whole picture in most cases, and that applies to any army. That's why we're talking about knowingly criminal order, and not just about a criminal one.
[quote]What you are saying is a lie of the American side, recognized by the whole world.[/quote]
More specifically, what's the lie? This story is widely known and generally understood: the order was worded incorrectly, most of the company realized it and didn't carry it out, and one platoon stupidly continued to carry it out until it was rescinded from above.

[Chief Officer Lom]

Quote from solar

More specifically, what is the lie?

The lie is that the lieutenant was mistaken in thinking he was killing Viet Cong, and the American court "believed" him. The photographs indicate a deliberate killing of a clearly civilian population. Moreover, it's difficult to say whether the order he received was worded exactly as he was told or whether it actually contained a direct order to conduct a punitive raid to kill civilians. However, experience shows that destroying villages along with their civilians was a common practice among American troops in Vietnam, with the aim of intimidating the population. There were photographs of the aftermath of such raids, but since they were taken after the Americans had already left, it was naturally claimed that the Viet Cong themselves killed everyone to frame the American angels of the fight against the Red menace. "They're shelling themselves" didn't originate in the Donbass...

[solar]

The lie is that the lieutenant was delusional in thinking he was killing Viet Cong.

He said he was following a direct order and didn't speculate whether it was wrong or not. There was an order, so he followed it. If it was cancelled, he stopped.

murder of a known civilian population

Actually, it was a problem to distinguish between peaceful and non-peaceful. That's why the Geneva Convention requires the unequivocal separation of combatants from civilians—the open carrying of arms, uniforms, and insignia. Unfortunately, this wasn't practiced in those places at the time.

The destruction of villages along with civilians was a common practice among American troops in Vietnam.

Apparently, it's not very common, since only one story is widely known. Generally, both sides practiced this kind of thing. The murders of communist opponents in Da Son, Son Tra, Thanh My, or the massacre in Hue are as real as Song My.

[Chief Officer Lom]

Quote from solar

Apparently, it’s not very common, since only one story has been heard about

Apparently, nothing really happened at all, because in Western countries, only a few pensioners remember My Lai. The effect of the American information machine's dominance. The atomic bombs on Japan were dropped by unknown parties, highly likely by the USSR. The Japanese should know better, after all...

[solar]

I think if you go out on the street and ask us what you know about Sognmi, most of the young people will probably start frantically remembering the local sushi bars. :(( It's not even worth asking about Ryue, although the scale there is much larger.

The atomic bombs on Japan were dropped by unknown forces, highly likely by the USSR. The Japanese should know better, after all.

I don't know where you got this information, but the Japanese are well aware of who dropped the bombs on them.

[Chief Officer Lom]

Quote from solar

But the Japanese are well aware of who dropped the bombs on them.

The older generation. In exhibits dedicated to the atomic bombings and at official events dedicated to them, the events are described in such a way that the perpetrators are never revealed. A plane landed, dropped a nuclear bomb, many casualties, tragedy, horror, photographs, memories. Who dropped the bomb is tactfully omitted... At first, no one pays much attention to this—after all, everyone knows it! But decades later, it turns out that this silence is very effective over the long term if no one fights it. Thus, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs (and probably not only it) did nothing to combat the completely outlandish claims of the Okrainsk nationalists—after all, it's perfectly obvious to everyone that it's wild nonsense, and practically everyone knows the truth! Only 30 years later, it turns out that the entire population of the independent state under 45 knows only the version of history as presented in colorful Bandera-era manuals from Canada.

Well then, we should remember the Amiriya bomb shelter in Baghdad. No one was convicted there.

Quote from alexoff

Well then, we should remember the Amiriya bomb shelter in Baghdad. No one was convicted there.

Amiriya is, in my opinion, a questionable thing. The casualty count is too wildly dispersed, from 202 to 1800; the concrete thickness varies too much, from 2 to 4 meters; and the common hall is not divided into sections.
There are plenty of more reliable cases of truly massive exterminations (Cologne, Dresden, etc.) - which cannot be disputed - even in the most understated cases we are talking about 10,000 people at one time

[alexoff]

What's controversial about that? It's in the style of the massacre of the American-trained Atlacatl Battalion, where the Americans claimed they only killed 300 people, not 900. Checkmate, literally, they got away with the crime.

[your1970]

Quote from alexoff

What's controversial about that?

Seriously, a single bomb killed between 202 and 1800 people in a bomb shelter? It wouldn't have been a bomb shelter then, but a basement.

[alexoff]

So the Americans confirm they dropped two one-ton concrete-piercing bombs into a bomb shelter, and you think you're lying? The bomb shelter has now been converted into a memorial; you can Google photos and see what happened there.

concrete-piercing(!!!!!)

-

"The first shell pierced the roof of the shelter, creating a breach, and the second penetrated inside, causing a powerful explosion and Combustion. Temperatures inside the shelter reached extreme levels., which led to instant death most people from burns and suffocation. ABSENCE exit for salvation worsened the disaster, turning the bunker into a death trap.
The bodies of the dead were charred beyond recognition, which made their identification difficult."
This is the basic interpretation of the events with casualties ranging from 202 to 1800 people.
The bomb is a concrete-piercing one. It contains a lot of cast iron and relatively few explosives.
Now tell me where it is at least 2 meters of concrete??? Although everyone is talking about 4 (!!!) meters of concrete floor!!!

An ordinary basement - hastily thrown together with one exit - a violation of all canons.
After the explosion, which killed a certain number of people, the rest were simply trampled by the crowd.
The range of victims is too great, the ceiling is flimsy and the emphasis is on "burned out".
And yes, the US killed them and no further details are needed to prove that the US did so. always killed civilians - when it considered it acceptable for its own purposes

A lot of cast iron and relatively little explosive.

240 kilograms of explosives in a bomb shelter with one large room is more than enough

The tragedy of Dresden was that during the bombing of the city's railway junction to prevent the Nazis from moving troops to aid the Red Army, the attack hit the surrounding area—the densely populated historic city center.
