Why did the American soldiers rape the Vietnamese during the war? |
Travel Info Is the US responsible for human rights violations? Does the US government owe Vietnam an apology? http://lists.village.virginia.edu/sixtie... Travel Tips They must have felt as though this is a way of exercising power over the Vietnamese people. To violate the women gave them a false sense of superiority and kind of says to the Vietnamese men "Hey. Look how we're treating your women." Unfortuantely, many people are oblivious to these kind of acts and think that US soldiers could do no such thing. That is absolute BS nad it happens all of the time. Even now in Iraq (and other places our troops are) women are being raped every single day - even gang raped by groups of soldiers. Just a year or so ago, a Brittish soldier who represented the United Nations in Africa to bring relief supplies to a village were convicted of raping 2 young girls. One even had a child and teh DNA proved everything. It's a tragedy. People need to wake up and see that not ALL soldiers are saints. An apology is definately in order. Others they sure do because they were horny over in Nam with no women and they needed some action of course they owe an apology.. and its not only from Vietnam... Power corrupts... absolute power absolutely... The soldiers wha are meant to be 'saviors' have the option of using this power espscially when they know they would get away with it. Men (or women) are not born villains.... but if they know that they can get away despite being one, there is a good chance they would become one. Any government whose power has not gone to its head must apologise atleast when it sees an error it has made. That is responsible governing. The us owes the world a apology really .Men do things in war that is unconscionable rape is one and the previous person was right men were horny and had no release so they raped women and children No excuse but its the truth .Its Probably happening in afgan and Iraq right now .We just dont hear about it . Ibelive any soilder that rapes in a foregin country should have to stand trial in that country and be punished by that countrys standards An unfortunate by product of war is crime. One of the worst crimes is rape. The United States does not owe the Vietnam an apology for the criminal conduct of some of its soldiers. There has never been a US policy of rape of foreign nationals. It is when there is a policy encouraging that behavior then the government has culpability. However the US government does a better job following through with accusations of rape this time around. |
