It’s very possible he was part of the Phoenix Program. It was basically a brutalization program led by the CIA. Operatives from both South Vietnam and the west were authorized to kill, torture, rape, or anything in between on anyone who was SUSPECTED of being a communist. These were not soldiers. Their plan was neutralize any civilian or non-combatant who had a helping hand in supporting the north. These are the heroes. These are the people who you’re supposed to feel bad for when they’re “spat on” and called baby killers.

If someone made a show or book about a US government sanctioned serial killer military squad, you’d think it’s some dog shit issue from The Suicide Squad or Vertigo.
