Statement on Burn's 'Vietnam' by helicopter pilot who served 11 years in the VNAF

♦ Sadly, nowadays there are still many of those willing to help spread the ‘poison of the VC propaganda’ for money or other reason? The so-called ‘The Vietnam War’ film is a perfect example that expects to influence American people: The U.S. soldiers were summarily judged as the ‘immoral actors’ during VN War.

♦ Contrary to this deceitful propaganda material, the following photos and Richard Borcicky’s statement are evidences to prove that the U.S. troops were ‘good guys’ who made so many good deeds in South VN:

“I would like to clear up some misconceptions that all the military were murderers of innocent villagers that is presumed by many who just watched “The Vietnam War by Ken Burns”.

I was with the 1st Marine Air Wing at Marine Air Group 16, Marble Mountain, Vietnam. I never saw or heard of anyone committing such a crime as the killing children and women in the year I was there and that was 1969/1970.

I was highly disappointed in the video not speaking of the good deeds that were done by the military for the Vietnamese people. Example: Doctors and Corpsman would volunteer their weekends and go out to the villages and orphanages to care for the sick. Some of the children we would send to the naval hospital ship just off the coast.

So with this said, Please don’t think everyone that served in Vietnam were baby and women killers. If anyone died it was because of a combat fight and not murdered”.

♦ Today, like millions of other witnesses, I must say the above Richard Borcicky’s statement is accurate. It is so simple, because I was a helicopter pilot and served 11 years in the VNAF: During the period 1964-1972 (ARVN soldiers and U.S. troops were side by side to fight against brutal communist aggressors); I saw or heard of U.S. troops doing many good things to the Vietnamese people. These 150 photos are  historical evidences.
