Bloody Past

My Lai massacre, most tragic massacre in the #Vietnam War. This is the #UnitedStates, Let this Sink IN! US troops killed more than 500 innocent men, women and children.
#American Heretic, William Calley Jr., the only #US soldier punished (if 3 years of house arrest can even be considered punishment) for the My Lai massacre, has passed away. Let's recall the horrors committed by the American army in Vietnam.
William Calley was the only US soldier held legally responsible for the slayings. He was convicted on twenty-two counts of murder, and his sentence was later commuted by President Reagan. Last week, William Calley publicly apologized for the first time, saying, There is not a day that goes by that I do not feel remorse for what happened that day in My Lai. He added that he had been following orders.
