It is called death by friendly fire, research the number of unexplained and cover up deaths of soldiers at bases like Fort Hood in recent years. Someone at your base has a problem with you, easy for them to shoot you in the field. Female soldiers getting raped by their own comrades and threatened or killed when they speak up. Lavena Johnson and many more are murders covered up by the army. I believe that it's time for soldiers who commit these types of crime to have a trial in a court that is not under the jurisdiction of the military. The few bad eggs are making the army look bad.

@madfeldor the reason the United States military were reluctant to prosecute these men was it was standard operating procedure for grounds troops to commit regular gang rape.

I lived in Phuket town (Thailand) in the mid 80's till 95. Many movies were shot there! Best I enjoyed was Robin Williams in 'Good Morning Vietnam' He was exactly as shown in the movie. Great fun and mixed well will all the 'extras' I was in the 'traffic jam of army trucks ' scene when Robin just 'adlibbed to all the guys in the backs of the trucks! Fantastic. In COW I did many battlefield scenes in the green army uniform. Many takes, very hot and Brian De Palma very meticulous! During the courtroom filming I also got some nice photo's with the Vietnamese 'victim' actress! All the cast were OK for photo opportunities. Sean Penn, no issues whatsoever! I like to meet him again! Movie shot in 1988. I still live in Thailand.

Factoid: In 1993, the United Nations considered rape as a crime. Before then, it was considered a "prize" by many countries. The reason rape became a crime was because there were several incidences involving both men and women. It makes me think the UN would not have made it a crime if it was just women. Disturbing on many levels.

Making something a crime/illegal doesn't prevent it from happening. The United States of America as fought in Iraq twice and Afghanistan, since 1993 and how many Iraqi/ Afghanistan teenage girls and woman have given American GI's pleasure involuntarily. I suspect as many US soldiers were convicted of rape in Vietnam as in Iraq or Afghanistan. The United Nations criminalising war rape as changed nothing and never will.

You mean Private Ericsson whom while carrying a loaded riffle, entered a village and helped abduct a innocent girl whom he knew would be raped.

The one detail I like the most about this scene is that the woman is referred to by name. During the entire film she was just an unnamed local, treated like a subhuman, like she was just a toy or an animal to be used as the soldiers pleased, like she had less rights. But here she is referred to by her name. This subtly points out that she was a person, a human being, just like everybody else. She had a name, she had a family, she had a life. She did nothing wrong and she deserved to be treated with the dignity and respect that any fellow human being deserves to be treated with. Just saying her name out loud here really hits home this point: She was not just some unnamed nobody. She was a person.

The military doesn’t give a shit about you, and they never will. 4,400 Americans didn’t die in Iraq to keep you free, they died in Iraq because George Bush, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz lied about there being Al Qaeda and WMD’s there. Who funded and trained al Qaeda in the 80’s starting global terror networks? The CIA did through Operation Cyclone which was passed by the United States Congress which had CIA officers train Al Qaeda operatives to fight the Soviets. You “patriots” complain about Iran, and yet the government sold munitions to Iran in the 80’s during the Iran Contra Scandal. You complain about dictators in the Middle East and yet the government helped put Saddam in power twice, the first time failed but the second time in 1983 was successful. Then you sell weapons to Iraq to kill Iranians during the Iran-Iraq War. And then act surprised when Iraq under a dictator invades Kuwait leading to the Gulf War. Vietnam was launched not for your freedom, it was started after Lyndon Johnson and his SECDEF Robert McNamara lied about the Gulf of Tonkin incident, they totally fabricated the second and most important attack which they then used to get congress to pass the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution which started the war and got 58,000 Americans killed and they didn’t even win the damn war in the end. The military hasn’t fought for freedom in a very very very long time, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff are not honorable men either I can tell you that much buttercup. Use the brain in your skull, it’s there for a reason. America is not a free country anymore, the elections are rigged, the stock market isn’t free, the media is biased, the internet is censored, and now you have to wear 2-3 masks and socially distance whilst taking 3 experimental mRNA gene therapy vaccines a year for the rest of your life or else you’ll get fired from your job or expelled from school. Blm and antifa attacked half the country for an entire summer and the brave military didn’t do shit to stop them, in fact that PUSSY General Mark Milley apologized after the area between the White House and the nearby church was cleared of anarchists. And your brave law enforcement KNEELED for the rioters. So much for law and order. Nice freedom the brave soldiers have preserved. Thank goodness for them.

But the mettle and the heart of the guys I served alongside still humbles me to this day. They were the very best and being with them was truly an honor. I'm not ashamed to say I love them. But that is where the tragedy lies for me. We deserved a better war; one that would do our suffering justice. We did our best and making you all at home proud of us was something we really took seriously. But I, like many of my brothers, had absolutely no idea how fucked up and corrupt our government had become. It was only in the last few years that we've had our eyes so thoroughly opened. Our own government, rotten to the core, is basically at war with its own citizens. Many who didn't get it before now finally understand. But recognizing a problem is the first step to solving it. If I ever draw my proverbial sword again it will be in defense of freedom here in America, not some third world shit hole.

@@BULL.173 very interesting good thoughts. then ruined it with the last clause. if you consider Vietnam a "third world shit hole" just also consider that this "shit hole* has had 60 odd deaths & about 12000 cases in country of 90 million+. compared to the US s *600,000* deaths & about *34* *million* cases to date. even making up for the difference in population Vietnam would only have had approx 36000 cases & 180 deaths, under its current response to covid 19. impressive for a "third world shit hole".

Captain Hill (Played by Dale Dye) was right about court-martials are lenient and If these guys get convicted they won't do any real time. Gervase’s ( Played by Sean Penn) initial sentence of 10 years, reduced to 8 years, he was paroled on August 9, 1969

Liam Keane, a large majority of United States soldier who served in Korea, Vietnam and recently in both Iraq wars and Afghanistan forced sex onto a native either during combat duties or in a brothel where that girl was a sex slave that raped her into submission. Volunteering soldiers should be warned that they will be participating in gang raped either knowing they or by accident before being deployed.

5:19 if Sgt. Meserve threatened erickson right there, he should have spoken up and said something. otherwise, erickson should sleep easy.
@3baxcb2 жыл бұрын
Uttering a threat towards a witness just after receiving a conviction would have invited more trouble. I'm guessing that Erickson wasn't worried about whatever Meserve said since he was never going to set eyes on him or the other three ever again.

The way I see it is this: Pfc. Hatcher (RAPE) should have been given 8 to 10 years, Pfc. Diaz (Rape & Unpremeditated Murder), 10 years, Sgt. Merzerve (Unpremeditated Murder), 15 to Life; but Cpl. Clark's (Rape & Premeditated Murder) sentence was right on the money. As for Pfc. Errickson, it's a shame that there were not more good soldiers and true Americans like him (and the chaplain) back then. Though only a mere grunt, against all odds, a blatant abuse of power and trust by his superiors, and even an attempt on his life, he stood up to them all to vindicate the death of a native girl of a country the US ARMY was sent to protect. Soldiers like Errickson are what makes me proud to be a veteran, an American, and a human being.
