Reason online has an article about three servicemen who did the right thing when other American soldiers were raping and murdering civilians at My Lai. It's good to be reminded that there are heroes in the world, men whom we can be inspired to imitate.
On another matter, I have written to one of my Senators, and hope to write to the other, in opposition to the SESTA-FOSTA act (Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act/Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act), which you can Google. Essentially, actual kidnappers and pimps can be prosecuted under existing law; this bill would put any website which let people post comments, or other material of their own (Wikipedia, for example), at risk. The websites could be prosecuted for any posts remotely related to sex trafficking, even if the owners and webmaster didn't know what was as going on. Please join in writing to your senator; the bill has already passed the House.
