    Not true, several officers were brought to trial for this incident and the Lt in charge of the massacre was put on trial and convicted in 1971. He served prison time and eventually was released. The Army tried to cover the entire thing up.

     

    No one from the US government, was ever convicted of war crimes, for any of the multitude of atrocities committed in Vietnam, such as Agent Orange, from which victims are still suffering today. 

    What part of "No one from the US GOVERNMENT was ever brought to trial for war crimes", did you not understand. Try READING other people's posts before wrongly trying to "correct" them.

  2. As a north easterner, and Boro fan, it makes me very sad to see Sunderland in such a bad state, as the link posted below. I hope that they will be able to sort out their problems in the near future, and return to some of their former glory.
    The north east's influence on the English game is waning, which is an extremely sad state of affairs, when one considers all of the football greats that have come from the area. North East football needs a clutch of big clubs, especially since both Darlington and Hartlepool have both fallen out of the League. I'd like to wish the Black Cats every success in finding a new owner, who can turn things around.

  3. The thing that disappointed me was the total lack of control of simple passes, throughout the whole team, even when playing across the back,  which seemed to be for most of the game.  It was no surprise to see Kouassi taken off at half time, he was lucky to stay on the field that long, he was awful.

  4. According to the link (below), the British Embassy is getting involved with driving licences, issued to British citizens in Thailand.

    I expect that this will shortly involve a trip to the Embassy, for
    a) some idiotic form or another, and
    B) to enable applicants to pay a fee to the Embassy for something they didn't need in the first place.

    Perhaps I'm being cynical here, but I've never found the Embassy to be of any use, whatsoever.

    The last time I renewed my licence here, I watched a video with English subtitles, as part of the renewal. I don't see any need for the Embassy to stick their oars in.
