Am I the only one that thinks the way the mod treats Hugh Thompson Jr. is super gross?
Title pretty much says it all. There’s an event you get as the U.S. and I believe as South Africa too which is basically a retelling of the My Lai Massacre from real life, including the man who perpetrated it (William Calley) and the man who stopped it (Hugh Thompson Jr.). Irl the massacre was stopped when Thompson and two other men landed their helicopter in the middle of the village, ready to open fire on fellow Americans if necessary to stop the killing. But in the mod when Thompson comes across the massacre he just backs away and does nothing. I don’t want to make this into something bigger than it is but as someone who used to work on HoI mods myself I kinda thought we all felt we had an obligation to avoid blackwashing people from real life, and this is maybe the most egregious example I’ve seen
