    Thompson was vilified by many Americans for his testimony against United States Army personnel. He recounted in a CBS “60 Minutes” television program in 2004, “I’d received death threats over the phone…Dead animals on your porch, mutilated animals on your porch some mornings when you get up.”

    This guy intervened during the murders and rapes of innocent women and children and he was vilified for it. They wanted him hanged for treason. America is evil and a majority of soldiers will just follow orders.
