remembering My Lai: nearly 500 unarmed civilians were killed, tortured & raped by US troops...
US Lt. #WilliamCalley was found guilty of murder #OnThisDay in the #MyLaiMassacre during #VietnamWar, only spending 3 years under house arrest for the mass murder & would've killed many more had #HughThompson not risked his life to save innocent civilians...
