Your reference to the Mai Lai Massacre is a good example. That guy was destroyed by the military (and many elected officials) during his life for doing the right thing by not following orders.
I can only wonder how many other times this could have happened.
Having a shitbag draft dodging un-american president is probably a pretty good contributor to the record high suicide rate going on in the military right now. That and his dirt ball policies like rounding up kids and families and putting them in cages. Probably not what many had in mind when they signed their lives away.
