I remember working at a photo development place and being asked by a Vietnam vet to develop some pictures that he had taken during the war. He warned me that the photos were disturbing and to make sure that not too many people saw them.

What I saw was piles of heads, piles of hands, with GIs smiling and posing next to them. Bodies of children and the elderly strew across roads. Just the most horrific shit I had, and have to this day, ever seen. I did not confront him about it when I gave him his pictures back, just thanked him for the warning.

There is no amount of suffering that the veterans of any American war (outside of WWII) can possibly suffer that will equate to even a fraction of the amount of damage they clearly caused and enjoyed causing. Americans are barbarians.

I would've made copies and sent them to Vietnam's government some of those people are missing since the war and some families may have had "closure" by having final proof of what happened. Death to America

I was like, 20, at the time, I had no idea what to do with what I was looking at or how to even process it.
