What happened to American soldiers accused of massacring Vietnamese civilians at My Lai?
The slaughter of more than 500 villagers on March 16th 1968 was the worst known atrocity by American forces in the Vietnam war. Victims' bodies were mutilated; women were gang-raped; a baby was used for target practice. The trial, three years later, was a whitewash. But it helped turn Americans against the war
From 1971: Who are the war criminals?
But weren't they told to act as such from higher authority? I probably watched all of Vietnam War posts on YouTube. Soldiers were sent on bounty hunt required them to bring back an ear of every victim they kill. Sound like killing for sports.
