I was an infantry officer in the Army from 1969 to 1971. Men in my platoon who had served time in Vietnam told me many storiesâbut none more chilling than the one from two helicopter pilots. They told me how they would shoot the friendlies on their way back from reconnaissance missions just so they could empty their ammunition before returning to base. The friendlies were South Vietnamese women and children, helpless victims in a war they did not understand. But to the American pilots, they were simply dots on the ground.
