The title of this page "List of massacres in Vietnam" is inapposite to its contents, as many were events which occurred in the Korean War era. Further, it requires specificity as to the perpetrators' identities, as there is an implication that the massacres were all carried out by American soldiers and/or their allies when some were carried out, e.g. by Viet Cong. I fail to even see where the compilation of this list, even with citation and specificity, serves any purpose, at least without discussion as to what does or does not constitute a "massacre". The text suggests that the massacres are from Vietnam and "its predecessors", but if this is the case then certainly the nuclear bomb attacks upon Japan and the fire storm bombing of Dresden and Tokyo should be included along with the all the various slaughters which took place during World War II.

This page has nothing to do with the "Korean War" or the "Korean War era." All the entries in each column are appropriate for the title of the page. The references to Korean Troops are to South Koreans participating in the U.S.-Vietnam war who committed massacres in the war.
