"Though the Army substantiated 20 war crimes by 18 Tiger Force soldiers committed in 1967--with numerous eyewitnesses--no charges were filed. An investigation that should have brought justice to the longest series of atrocities by a U.S. fighting unit in Vietnam reached the Pentagon and White House but never a court of law--or the American public. Instead, the case was hidden in the Army's archives, and key suspects were allowed to continue their military careers. By the time the investigation was over, a justice system that promised to prosecute war criminals ended up protecting them." (TOLEDO BLADE) This article details the investigation by Toledo Blade reporters that uncovered atrocities committed by U.S. forces in Vietnam that were never brought to court.
