My Lai | JTravel In 1968 werd in My Lai een bloedbad aangericht. Nu is het een herdenkingsplaats voor de doden. Lees hier meer informatie over My Lai.

Ik bezocht My Lai in Vietnam. In 1968 vond hier tijdens de Vietnamoorlog een verschrikkelijk bloedbad plaats. Het bloedbad van My Lai is het beschamendste hoofdstuk van de Amerikaanse inmenging in Vietnam. 👇

He would have been court-martialed for #MyLai if he was Nam era.
