Old news, sad news, RIP Hugh Thompson

[brixtonbrood]

I didn't catch the news of Hugh Thompson's death at the time (early January), and wasn't familiar with his story, until Broadcasting House broadcast a very moving interview with Lawrence Colburn this morning (it's right at the end of the show).
I felt the need to do a tiny post to mark the life of a real hero.

wow, thanks for pointing it out.

I'm glad to learn that they got medals. Despite not liking medals generally, they got recognized officially eventually, in a way soldiers would understand. And before their deaths.

Who was that bastard congressman?
