'Since World War II began, the air forces of the United States have killed millions of people around the world.'
a U.S. major saying of devastated Ben Tre,"It became necessary to destroy the town to save it." Incredibly, the U.S. military came to believe, or at least to assert, that destroying such a town was a form of salvation from the alleged ideological evil of communism. But whether by bombs or bullets or fire, destruction is destruction. It should never be confused with salvation.
How could Hildreth have possibly disobeyed his"destroy the town" order? The answer: because he and his wingman took the time to look at the villagers they were assigned to kill. In their Skyraiders, they flew low and slow. Seeing nothing but apparently friendly people waving up at them, including children, they sensed that something was amiss. It turns out that they were oh-so-right.
My second hero is not a general, not even an officer. He's a former airman who's currently behind bars, serving a 45-month sentence because he leaked the so-called, which revealed that our military's drone strikes killed far more innocent civilians than enemy combatants in the war on terror. His name is Daniel Hale, and you should all know about him and reflect on his integrity and honorable service to our country.
It's sobering stuff, but we airmen, you graduates in particular, deserve just such sobering information, because you're going to be potential death-dealers. Yet it's important that you not become indiscriminate murderers, even if you never see the people being vaporized by the bombs you drop and missiles you'll launch with such profligacy.
