U.S. duty questioned over allies crimes in Vietnam
In the Foreign Service Journal letters, John D. Marks argues the United States bears moral responsibility for atrocities by allied South Korean forces in Vietnam. He cites a 1969 Senate report and Pentagon papers, noting U.S. aid and urging accountability amid alleged massacres at Tanphong in 1968. State Dept officials cite Korean troops as responsible, not U.S. troops.
