Lt #WilliamCalley, instigator of the #MyLaiMassacre, was convicted on #ThisDayInHistory in 1971 for the premeditated murder of civilians. Calley expressed no remorse for the 504 deaths. Nixon reduced his sentence to three years house arrest due to bipartisan calls for his pardon.
🚨Another United States dirty little secret... This is the dark truth the US government tried to hide & fully redacted from US history books .... The My Lai Massacre: When US Soldiers Killed 500+ Innocent Vietnamese Civilians.

The despicable strike on the elementary school at #Minab in #Iran should haunt the US military establishment for a generation, like a latter-day #MyLaiMassacre.
Iran may not be Vietnam; but the Vietnamese won that hideous murderous war against the Americans #MyLaiMassacre #TetOffensive
#USImperialism
The event became one of the most infamous atrocities of the war and sparked global outrage, raising enduring questions about military ethics, accountability, and the human cost of conflict.

TRIGGER WARNING
The #MyLaiMassacre was on #ThisDayInHistory in 1968, when US forces killed 504 civilians in #MỹLai & #MỹKhe villages. Nearly all victims were children & women (often gang-raped) and the elderly. This & other #WarCrimes like it were covered up by the US military.
The #Minab elementary school outrage should be remembered as Trump's #MyLaiMassacre.
It's the anniversary today of that other example of the malign influence of the US in the world.
It's the 58th anniversary of the #MyLaiMassacre in which 350-500 unarmed civilians were executed by US soldiers in #Vietnam.
Just like the recent atrocity at #Minab elementary school in Iran, the US authorities tried to cover it up.
They've learned nothing.

#JustFollowingOrders is not a defense. Never was, never will be. #Nuremburg #MyLaiMassacre
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1969, journalist #SeymourHersh broke the story of the #MyLaiMassacre in the #VietnamWar. He interviewed dozens, including the perpetrators, showing that US soldiers had wilfully slaughtered 504 children, women, & old men in #SơnMỹ village, #SouthVietnam.
Why I recently visited My Lai 4 village, #Vietnam. (Site of the 1968 My Lai (Son My) Massacre by members of the US armed forces. Covered up by troops and brass, but eventually exposed by courageous whistleblower patriots. #MyLai #MyLaiMassacre
The UCMJ requires every GI to refuse to follow illegal orders.

“I was just following orders” has never been a morally valid or legal excuse in the history of ever.
Good time to read Nightwatch.
