Self education is one of the most important things when u live in a country where the government controls the media. The My Lai Massacre was the mass murder of 347 to 504 unarmed citizens of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam), almost entirely civilians and the majority of them women and children, conducted by U.S. Army forces on March 16, 1968. Some of the victims were sexually abused, beaten, tortured, or maimed, and some of the dead bodies were mutilated. -"Some of the people were trying to get up and run. They couldn't and fell down. This one woman, I remember, she stood up and tried to make it — tried to run — with a small child in her arms. But she didn't make it." - -"Soldiers went berserk, gunning down unarmed men, women, children and babies. Families which huddled together for safety in huts or bunkers were shown no mercy. Those who emerged with hands held high were murdered. ... Elsewhere in the village, other atrocities were in progress. Women were gang raped; Vietnamese who had bowed to greet the Americans were beaten with fists and tortured, clubbed with rifle butts and stabbed with bayonets. Some victims were mutilated with the signature "C Company" carved into the chest. By late morning word had got back to higher authorities and a cease-fire was ordered. My Lai was in a state of carnage. Bodies were strewn through the village."- -"I would say that most people in our company didn't consider the Vietnamese human"- -The first reports claimed that "128 Vietcong and 22 civilians" were killed in the village during a "fierce fire fight". General William C. Westmoreland, MACV commander, congratulated the unit on the "outstanding job"- Haha typical US bullshit -Samuel W. Koster — Major General, commanding officer of the Americal Division, charged with cover-up of the incident. -William L. Calley, Jr. — Lieutenant who led the 1st Platoon, the only person convicted of murder. -Paul Meadlo — said he was afraid of being shot if he did not participate. Lost his foot to a land mine the next day, later publicly admitted his part in the massacre. -Calley and Meadlo were firing at the people. They were firing into the hole. I saw Meadlo firing into the hole. Q: Well, tell me, what was so remarkable about Meadlo that made you remember him? A: He was firing and crying. Q: He was pointing his weapon away from you and then you saw tears in his eyes? A: Yes. —Private First Class Robert Maples -Gary Roschevitz — according to various witnesses he forced seven women to undress and perform sex with him, when the women refused he reportedly shot them. -(Think this is an isolated incident? I don't the fact that it was attempted to be covered up all the way to superior officers tells me that its not at all. Tells me this shit probably happens all the time. They just happen to have a couple humans in their ranks that didn't let them get away with it this time.)-
