Some Marines boiled the flesh off Japanese skulls to use as drinking vessels.
The Pacific, like the Eastern Front, was seen as a totalising race war.
Somehow those guys readjusted to normal life and went on to have happy families and successful businesses.

Former CIA officer John Kiriakou, on Indonesia 1965 :
> "they literally crafted this narrative that was absolutely untrue, that a Communist Party was going to rise up and kill everyone"
> "military ended up clashing with the Communist Party in Indonesia and one million people died"
> "Several documents of the CIA actually say that it was a model of an operation"
The CIA's own 1968 research study called the killings "one of the worst mass murders of the 20th century". The agency knew exactly what it was looking at.
Then Washington backed Suharto for 32 years.
I keep coming back to this one because it's the case that shaped everything after it, from Chile to the colour revolutions of today.
If the people who ran it called it a success, what exactly were they measuring ?

BTW this guy has been on the Supreme Court for 35 years and is one of the nine people who have the final say on what laws get passed in America. He's opposed gay rights every single time same sex marriage bills came to the supreme court.
Black people have virtually no power to institutionalize homophobia, white people do. This includes white queers, who have often weaponized their whiteness at the disservice of the broader queer community and other marginalized groups.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Being gay is punished by the death penalty in multiple black majority countries such as Somalia, Uganda, and South Sudan.
In the US Clarence Thomas, a black Supreme Court Judge, consistently votes down LGBTQ rights. Conversely, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson votes in favor.

They accidentally killed him because they were trying to choke him unconscious, rape him on camera and blackmail him with the footage, by the way
Please help me honor US Army Green Beret Staff Sergeant Logan Melgar.
On June 4, 2017, the 34-year-old engineer sergeant was killed in Mali during a hazing incident by fellow special operators who broke into his room, restrained him, and applied a chokehold that led to his death by asphyxiation.
From Lubbock, Texas, he served with the 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne) after enlisting in 2012, completed Special Forces training, and deploying twice to Afghanistan.
Survived by his wife Michelle and their two sons, Melgar was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery, leaving a legacy of service and a case that exposed serious issues of accountability within elite military units.
Never forgotten.

Death ruled homicide by asphyxiation. Two SEALs and two Raiders charged with felony murder for chokehold in planned hazing to film sexual assault. Convicted of manslaughter/hazing; sentences 6mo-18mo after reductions. Theft cover-up motive alleged, denied.
