The image on the right is a wider-less cropped view - more US soldiers are in view - kids escaped the napalm - but the adults - no exit. Hey, maybe our empathy isn't zero - our American troops let the kids out of Hell.
Nick Ut [1] - Huỳnh Công Út - took this image 40 years ago in Viet Nam.
We were burning the gooks [2] out of their stupid little palm frawn shacks.
Burnin' out thier kids too.
Gooks.
(the only difference today betweeen the inhumanity in Syria [3] and the inhumanity we advanced in Viet Nam is that in 1972 the USA press published Mr. Ut's photo - front page across the US and the World - I remember)
But we go back over and over, generation upon generation, in every continent, and do it over and over.
Pretty sick.
Really sick.
WE ARE SICK
