THE MY LAI MASSACRE
Episode 186 | Historical Events
In this History episode we focus on the My Lai Massacre of March 16th, 1968 — when US soldiers killed up to 500 unarmed Vietnamese civilians, a helicopter pilot named Hugh Thompson landed between the soldiers and the survivors and threatened to open fire on his own side, the Army covered it up for over a year, and only one man was ever convicted of anything.
Five hundred unarmed civilians. No enemy fighters found. Three and a half years under house arrest. That was the total accountability the United States military produced.
