America genocided their native population (and to this day is poisoning native Hawaiians’ water supply), enslaved black people, funded and trained terrorist groups in Afghanistan, murdered a fifth of the North Korean population, worked with the Brits to steal the Chagos Islands and force the natives off so they could build a military base, installed Pinochet (murderous dictator in Chile) after interfering in Chilean elections, enslaved Filipinos and put their children in zoos, lied about Iraq having WMDs so they could invade and kill over a million people for oil, still sanction Cuba (not allowing desperately needed supplies, including medical supplies, in the country) despite every other country except Israel calling for the sanctions to stop, let imperial Japanese and Nazi war criminals go in exchange for their “research”, tried to mind control people through MKUltra, bombed Laos so heavily that to this day there are 80 million+ bombs still there killing people, sprayed so many chemicals over Vietnam that children are still being born with birth defects there, torture Muslims in camps like Gitmo and Abu Ghraib, and support Israel’s apartheid against Palestinians. They jailed Daniel Hale for revealing their drone strikes hit civilians 90% of the time and tried to assassinate Julian Assange for revealing their war crimes.

He was incredibly courageous, told his gunners to open fire on American troops if they opened fire on a group of Vietnamese civilians he wanted to rescue. He reported to his section leader that the American infantry were no different to nazis "its mass murder out there, they're rounding them up and herding them in ditches and then just shooting them", which was then covered up by saying "yeah 20 civilians were caught in the crossfire" the official report said "128 Viet Cong and 22 civilians had been killed during a fierce fire fight".

The atrocities the Americans did in Vietnam have been hidden away for so long. The My Lai was just one senseless incident. If it wasn't for the pilot of the helicopter who witnessed the carnage below, there would have been far more deaths of all those innocent villagers. He was the hero of the Vietnam war. Many of the women and young girls were gang raped and their bodies mutilated and eventually killed. Some girls as young as 12 years old. This was the largest massacre of civilians by US forces in the 20th century. The pilot of the helicopter was Hugh Thompson. William Calley was the USA army officer who led and ordered the massacre. He was eventually court martialed, given a life sentence, reduced to 20 years, then served only 3 years of house arrest, pardoned by President Nixon. He died at the age of 80. Hugh Thompson died at 62 years. The other soldiers with him in the helicopter were Lawerence Colburn, died 67 years old. Glenn Andreotta was the 3rd soldier in the helicopter, he was killed not long after this at age 20. Remember the young naked burnt girl running down the street with her arms out wide and the flesh dropping off her body, all due to the Napalm bombing of the forest area. Agent Orange was also used which caused major health problems and deformities to babies. Which is still on going. Think of the Vietnamese/American babies born through rape. They were outcastes. A senseless war. And America lost.

Who told you that this guy is the "only survivor" of this atrocity?? You need to get your facts straight. Look up "Hugh Thompson". He was the American chopper pilot who intervened in the massacre, ordering his gunners to turn their weapons on the American soldiers on the ground, and to open fire on them if they fired on any more civilians. He risked his life and his freedom to save the lives of the remaining villagers. This man you interviewed was DEFINITELY not the only survivor of the My Lai massacre.

CPT Medina sent LT Calley and Charlie company into My Lai 4 for a reason, being that the 42nd Viet Cong Battalion was based there, as evidenced by the absence of any teenage or adult males in the village. What happened next, based on evidence at the court martial was a set of actions dreamed up by LT Calley himself, a few of his men objected to his orders when it was clear that there were no combatants present, but the rest went completely berserk and killed some 500+ civilians. Medina probably didn't do his career any good, but I believe he didn't order this activity. LT Calley gave these orders and should have served his original sentence of life in prison. Nobody ever accused LT Calley of being too smart, and he clearly showed terrible judgement on this day.

William Calley was convicted and put under house arrest for a few years before being pardoned by Richard Nixon. Calley passed away recently. It was in the news.

The US caused the massacre of the Vietnamese people under its sovereignty, they did not follow anyone and were eventually killed by some of the survivors and gave birth to hatred and they joined the Viet Cong but had to pay for their penalties. enemy. Americas. But one case is South Korea, their government has concealed the massacres and bloodshed, and some American mistakes, those massacres are the sotuh Korea trio: "great power", "white tiger", "green dragon" sotuh Korea soldier, killing 430 people, including 269 women (12 raped to death), 104 elderly, 174 children, 3 families were wiped out not only in this incident. Dien Nien - Phuoc Binh Massacre of Binh Hoa Massacre of Binh An Massacre Phong Nhat and Phong Nhi Massacre Ha My Duy Trinh massacre is the places Korea passed through, the Vietnamese people were massacred and the survivors and they joined the Viet Cong to counteract the Vietnamese killing These are massacres in Korea
