进行这一调查并不是使老兵们可以吐露心声或者净化灵魂;调查的目的是为了证明美国在印度支那的政策与种族灭绝并无二致;对于所发生的一切不仅士兵有责任,而且每一个纵容这种残暴及泯灭人性的行为继续下去的人都难辞其咎。
THE INVESTIGATION WAS NOT STAGED SO THAT VETERANS COULD SPILL OUT THEIR HEARTS OR PURGE THEIR SOULS; IT WAS DONE TO PROVE THAT THE POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES IN INDOCHINA IS TANTAMOUNT TO GENOCIDE, BUT THAT EVERYONE HERE IN AMERICA WHO HAS ALLOWED THE BRUTALIZATION AND DEPERSONALIZATION TO GO ON IS RESPONSIBLE.
