interestingly i heard that his heart has already decayed into extremely rich bitumen. they're planning a memorial where once a year they extract a tablespoon to light a small flame and the smoke will be blown into a cambodian infant's face
Not super familiar with him, not sure why he's getting shat on all over Lemmy and praised in the news, and I don't care enough to research him. Could someone give me a TL;DR?
He was in charge of American foreign policy during and immediately after the Vietnam War. TLDR he made policy decisions that led to the deaths of probably over 4 million people.

There's a lot, but the shortest version is that he never saw a war crime he didn't like, and he was in a position to make a lot of them happen.
