!!!! How can he have been involved in MY LAI and not have that be the central thing in a book on the problem of evil? That incident is like a case study in that exact issue. It's basically the Milgram experiment in real life. It had a person who was a direct force behind doing something really bad, it had people who went along with it with varying degrees of culpability/pressure/guilt/etc, AND it had people going against very strong pressure to do evil, who instead did good at a great risk to themselves (but their circumstances also had some exterior factors which probably made it easier for them to do that than the soldiers under Calley's command, specifically that they were not under Calley's command.)
Anyway, it's a perfect case study in those exact issues, so… whut. I guess it's the unspoken why behind why even think about those issues, but...
IDEK demon possession???? I know that is a religious belief but it's one that I find hard to take seriously.
