“We kept flying back and forth … and it didn’t take very long until we started noticing the large number of bodies everywhere. Everywhere we’d look, we’d see bodies. These were infants, two- three-, four-, five-year-olds, women, very old men, no draft-age people whatsoever,” Thompson stated at a My Lai conference at Tulane University in 1994.

That is from one of the heroic pilots who stopped this. You think those infants were a threat? How about the two or three year olds? Hell, the five year olds for sure, at least they're old enough to wipe their own asses, surely they're old enough to all be secret enemies who deserved death.
