#3 bman.
I happened to be in a class at Ft. Bragg in 1970 which included a field-grade who'd been involved in digging up that mass grave outside Hue. The question was what to do if our RVN counterparts began mistreating a VC prisoner. His response was not met with the standard, "Well, that's a technique, but the school solution is...." In fact, the instructors didn't like it at all. Or, more likely, they couldn't admit they did.
You will be shocked, I know, to find that no sillyvilian has ever heard of it, and no liberal, having been informed, gives a rodent's butt about it. Unlike My Lai, Hue does not exemplify anything.
