Part 3. May I invite you to read my poem series " Mỹ Lai 1 - A Tale of A Carnage" on PoemHunter. I tried to tell a part of the Vietnam story.

Sincerest thanks, Poet Menon for your very positive response. And for acknowledging one of my few virtues!

There is no pardon for the crimes of President Johnson, Nixon and Kissinger. And the horrendous war crimes of the US soldiers in Vietnam. That is why the soldiers have no peace of mind, even in the old age. For, the wages of sin is death..

cont'd) Again, with all due respect, BOTH SIDES were guilty of horrendous war crimes. I am in no way undermining what you're saying. But, there are always 3 sides to every argument. Ultimately, God will be The Judge! !

With the deepest of respect, Poet Menon, while I was attending university, I created an audio-visual presentation based on the Vietnam War. The viciousness, and absolute monstrosity, of both war parties was beyond belief.
