If you can learn something from Charlie's behavior, that is the case: war is cruel. It changed morality, distorted ideas, and let all participants deprive humanity. The Vietnam War is no exception. Charlie is no exception. America has to know that these people are products of their environment. Perhaps when the contradiction of next ideology occurs, the image of "I trust" overwhelms the consciousness of the United States and the country will not attract guns so quickly. Unfortunately, with the recent actions of Kosovo, these images seem to have been almost forgotten.

On March 16, 1968, Charlie Company of America Branch moved to a small village in Mai Rai, committing one of the most brutal atrocities in the Vietnam War and American history. Although their actions resulted from intrinsic pressure of war, their cruel targeting of noncombatants was considered a special departure from the command. Approximately 500 civilians were killed and one year later, in the letter from Ron Ridenhour, the US Army Criminal Investigation Agency looked into the validity of the assertion. Then a general colleague was asked to lead the committee to decide what had happened and who failed. Since then, people have made countless attempts to explain how this atrocity happens. One of the strongest signs is the attempt to relieve the low morale morale after the Spring Festival's attack, Charlie's platoon leader Lt. Colonel Lieutenant leads the task of eliminating the base of Vietcong near Sonmai village That's it.
