"The platoon--a small, highly trained unit of 45 paratroopers created to spy on enemy forces--violently lost control between May and November, 1967. For seven months, Tiger Force soldiers moved across the Central Highlands, killing scores of unarmed civilians--in some cases torturing and mutilating them--in a spate of violence never revealed to the American public." (TOLEDO BLADE) This article reveals how an investigation uncovered atrocities committed by U.S. Army forces in Vietnam that were never publicized or fully investigated and prosecuted.
