Dear master Light,
How was it possible that 8 posters on Ozpolitic's saw this video
on my introduction 1st page & yet could see no war crimes?

They are sighted yet cannot see.

If they don't acknowledge the crime, they don't have to face the consequences.

Let’s see. Noun. Crimes committed against an enemy, prisoners of war or subjects in wartime that violate international agreements or, as in the case of genocide, are offences against humanity.

Now killing a million people in Nam alone might not be technically an offense against humanity, but I can think of a few known crimes committed against the enemy and the civilian population that meet this definition.

The Diem regime committed numerous war crmes including torture, the execution of prisoners of war without trial, and many breaches of the Geneva Convention. The CIA, US military, and Australian covert forces actively and knowingly aided this regime, and participated in torture, assassination and terrorism of the civilian population for almost a decade before war was even declared. The Amerikan covert Phoenix Program assassinated tens of thousands of Vietnamese, and was supported by the Australian Army. Diem was a cold war hero. He visited Australia in 1957 and was greeted warmly by both Menzies and the ALP.

These facts alone constitute war crimes. There’s a number of reasons the Amerikan embassy spent the final hours of the fall of Saigon shredding documents, and arse covering was up there.

As the Light has shown, the Gulf of Tonkin incident was staged. As I’ve shown, Menzies announced Australian troop deployment before Diem sent a letter "asking for help". The Vietnam war was a war crime before it even became a war. Ask the member Red Barron. He’s still sworn to secrecy 50 years on.

There are no two ways about it. The basis of the war, the violation of a number of treaties and a :international agreements, the deployment of troops, the proceeding covert action, the military support of the war criminal Diem, and the air strikes on the civilian populations of neighbouring countries all constitute war crimes.

Your thread is titled "Was the Vietnam war a War Crime?" NOT were war crimes committed in the Vietnam war?

I was one that voted no.
