The My Lai Massacre - History haithkx: Life magazine covered this massacre as it unfolded. I was 10 years old when I saw those photographs. Even at that age, I was horror stricken at what I was seeing. Pictures of a group of women and children huddled together, the little ones hiding behind their mothers and grandmothers in one photo, those same individuals sprawled in a pile on the ground riddled with gunshot wounds, bloodied, dead, recognizable by the clothing they wore in the first photograph. Another picture of a child dead on a dirt road, an old man lying next to his bicycle. I wish I hadn't seen those images, they haunt me 55 years later, burned into my memory, breaking my heart again and again, making me wonder what kind of devils human beings are.

Look at the American My Lai deniers in the comment, truely reflect the intellect and morality of this nation. My Lai is located in South Vietnam, funny that this was how they -protected- the South Vietnamese from North Vietnamese agression. ARVN stood by watching happily, as the American and Korean committed genocide on their rural population (The Australian and New Zealander were better in comparison, tho)

I'm speechless. I think the idea of my countries soldiers being the absolute gold standard of heros that do the right thing has been questioned.
I cannot understand this at all. I don't understand how ANY human being could shoot a child.
I was not familiar with this happening, but I need to know more. I feel so bad that people are capable of such acts.

From my understanding at least in the modern era if you are a soldier in the US Army and you get illegal order you are obligated by law to disobey it and something as heinous as murdering civilians you are well within your right to arrest even your Superior officers on the spot

Collen powell, -In the days of slavery. You got the privilege of living in the house. Colin Powell's committed to come into the house of the master. When Powell dares to suggest something other than what the master wants to hear, he will be turned back out to pasture-

It seems like having certain ranks in the military protects you from any crimes you commit in America. Look up -Cavalese Cable Car Disaster-, these mfs killed around 20 people because they were dumb and they got away with it.

one army under satan thats the usa. drunk hillbillies with lets just nuke everyone and diregard all laws so we can win. the first menace to humanity actually. their generals treats all soldiers as dummies
reply

-Private First Corporal-. Seriously? There is no such rank in any of the US Armed forces. You lose all credibility about your report if you can't even properly identify the person you're reporting.
reply

The Military must have a special high funded legal team dedicated towards making sure all soldiers who are found guilty of something end up being acquitted or let out early.

Lt. Called was a nutjob who got away with stuff because he had a rich daddy; if he had come from the Bronx he would have gone to the Leavenworth stockade in very short order

IF I can get JUSTICE for me for the evil the American government has done to me, I would be very happy, let us not forget Hiroshima, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan ---as well--

My God, this puts Bloody Sunday in Northern Ireland into perspective. Mai Lai, was way, way worse than anything that happened in Derry that day in 1972.

.. My Lai Vietnam cover up: He really was a yes man. all those dead woman, children n babies. How tf could I care about him? It's a sick sick thing!
reply

Yamashitta and peiper both held
Accountable altho they weren't at the actual scene
Maybe westmoreland should have been held responsible

reply

This is very dramatic, but why was the United States Army systematically destroying this village if they had not been actively attacking them?
reply

What person in their right mind would kill a child -. If there is such thing as afterlife, then I hope those innocent people get their justice
reply

I remember how much Americans screamed in the 9/11 attack. While the US bombed several countries in this world in the name of -freedom-
reply

They always say Communists kill, innocent people but they ignored what they did in the past conservative are very hypocrite these day
reply

isn't pfc -private first class- and not -private first corporal-?
I'm not american, but that one sounded very strange to me.
