Actually it's not what's expected from war. It's what war can become if certain things are not expected, like refraining from raping and murdering civilians on purpose.
@jessieyt1 there are countless examples of what WAR really is out there. The images and video footage you see on media networks are what war will become if certain elements are missing.
What do you mean when you say "the images and video footage ... on video networks are what war will become if certain elements are missing"? What elements? Cameras? What's the point of that besides obscuring what's going on?
@jessieyt1 the elements would be killing, or the psychological effects of killing, and trying to stay alive, Many people around me got the idea of American solders are saints, saviors and defenders of justice and freedom. My argument is, your everyday people either ignore negative evidences or "rationalize" them to be accidental, separate events.
James Corbett just did a great podcast on this and the similarities with Abu Ghraib and the recent incident of Marines urinating on dead bodies. The MO of the powers that be is the same through history. Dehumanize the enemy so that your soldiers can easily perform brutal atrocities, which in turn dehumanize the soldiers.
It is actually possible to train soldiers to distinguish between combatants and non-combatants, though. Which is a hell of a lot better than nothing. And that is being done considerably better now. Imperfectly, but there hasn't been a deliberate, 4-hour-long slaughter of an entirely unarmed civilian population since. Not much to boast of; but much better than if it were still happening.
Funny Americans never ever equate the Military with Evil or the Devil.Only Evil that exists in what ever country doesnt do what American business interests want.Maybe it would be wise to QUESTION AUTHORITY!!!!!!
'When turned over to the press and Government by the photographer, those “unofficial” photographs provided the grounds for a court martial. Haeberle's[photographer assigned to Charlie Company] personal images (owned by himself and not the US Government) showed hundreds of villagers who had been killed by U.S. troops.

i hope every us soldiers get killed in iraq n afghanisthan come on iraqis and afghas kill more soldies n let deir family suffer like shit,we asian cpuntries have been killed by desw monsters for long,hop more roadside bomb n sucide bomb will occur in american cities so more american will die dats karma bitches let more amerucans die n deir family suffer ya
@megasuperock So your understanding of Karma is this: If someone commits an atrocity, their countrymen should be punished for it, even decades later? I am an American, and I was not alive during the Vietnam war. If I had been, I would have opposed it. But you believe I deserve to be killed.
The Vietcong massacred civilians also, as did the south Vietnamese. By your logic, everybody deserves to die. Even your country slaughtered hundreds of its own citizens 22 years ago.
@megasuperock You DO know that our country has over 15,000,000 Asians, right? Smarten up and use logic. Saying you want Americans to die means you want thousands of people from your country to die too... the stupidity.
i am chinese and am absoluetly horriefied by disAMERICAN SO CALLED FREEDOM AND JUSTIC ,wat s da justice n killing villagers old man women n children,i hop even though m nt muslims i pray u muslims will kill more n more us soldiers in iraq n afghanisthan,let more us soldiers die every us soldiers death i will jump with joy
My Lai was so fucked up, they were ordered to destroy this village under false pretenses. These American civilians get pulled off the street by the governement, trained to kill, given orders to kill, then are condemned for it? Wayyyyy fucked up shit
@Walsm002 but they didn't. Your simply making assumptions. What happened in Mai Lai was disgraceful and simply not acceptable. Hopefully american soldiers take this as a lesson and it is never repeated
@somalisulja how can you show indignation for the deaths of thousands of innocent people, while simultaneously condemning jews and 9/11 victims. How dumb are you?
@UtopiaMinor666 dude what goes around comes around for too long united states were doing brutal crimes against people for the name of democracy.is not for the unitedstates to decide who deserves the right to live in this earth or not.god is watching
@somalisulja yes i know, thats why im asking you why its ok for thounds of innoncents in 9/11, clearly not the american governement, to die helplessly? Those people are not out government, washington and the excutive office are america, im completely for what you mean to say, this all should stop, but advocating more innocent death as some sort of leveling plain is ridiculous. And you invoke god? you really are demented.
@somalisulja , your comment a week ago is absolutely disgusting. You seem to forget that just because the Charlie Company were from America, it doesn't mean all American's should be punished for their acts. Each country has their own bloody history that they are ashamed of, however I hardly think that you would agree with us wishing death upon everyone in your country? You're a part of that arrow-minded 'skum' yourself.
@sladeyyy i agree tbh this is what happens when you put civilians not warriors this is more to do with the total hell of vietnam i remember a british officer who killed and just shot and butchered a nazi soldier war makes you hate everything and this war destroyed these soldiers they were never used to this that being said still really bad
@somalisulja Don't worry peasant soon enough our hypersonic bombers will be flying over whatever flea bitten third world country you live in and vaporising your mud hut.
@somalisulja No worries. Do me a favour and sell whatever livestock your village has and try to buy a decent camera and set it up filming your peasant dwellings. It will be a laugh to watch it getting blown back to the stonea.....ah wtf am I saying your already living in the stone age.
@TYUIO11111 USA always has money to buy high tech weapons to annihilate the lesser races. Who gives a fuck if some of our underclasses have to live in poverty its a small price to pay so the privileged can watch serfs in third world shitholes getting blown away on Youtube.
@TYUIO11111 Why do you think they look like that? Because we are spending all our money on buying the latest and greatest in third world peasant killing technology. But its only the lower classes who live in the shitholes your referring to. The ruling class are able to sit on a sun chair poolside, sipping a martini and watching a Predator drone blow your third world ass into the next world on a computer. Plus we need peasants to run our companies and industries. Want a job?
LOL plus I see your from that backyard banana republic Ecuador. Heard Chevron gave your worthless peoples a right ass fucking. Not only stole all your oil but left you to clean up the mess. Oh well I guess since most of your kind in the US are house keepers it seems your the only right person for the job. Cleaning up shit for your betters is in your genes bahahhahahahahahahaha
@MerryGoFuckYourself better than being in a country that will be speaking Chinese in 2-3 years hahaha a trillion dollar debt and the best thing is that if a republican or democrat comes it does not matter your still screwed hahaha
@TYUIO11111 hahahaha na we will just team up with China to rape and pillage your backwards shithole south american countries just like the Spanish did back in the day. You see peasant your betters always put the dollar first. Why waste money fighting each other when we can just enslave your worthless peoples to solve our labour problems and take all your resources.
@MerryGoFuckYourself You are an asshole, straight up dude. You are either an un-educated red neck raised in an inbred family or you are 14, either way you should still shut the fuck up
My Lai is an inexcusable act of mass murder. But what the news media forgets is that the Communists (NVA and Viet Cong guerillas) commit much bloodier massacres on a common basis.
I hope that these so-called "American Soldiers" live with terrible guilt until they die.
i read up on this and this makes me sick. sick to my stomach. i cant believe tha they were over there killing children like this . CHILDREN!!?? SICK FUCKS THEY ARE. no wonder there is so much disgust for this country. it is rightly deserved
America kicked the horrible British ass in the late 1700's. The UK were imperialistic assholes. So don't talk about my country. British punks were bad too.
@phatcrayonz FUCK YOU. the british forces won about 60% of the ground battles and your ancestors had military aid from France, Spain and Holland and our forces had to be diverted to india to mantane order (because we only took india after indian society had pritty much collasped after centuries of civil war) so the british forces were vastly reduced but still burned the rebel capital to the ground. the ameriCUNT deaths were much higher than the british deaths.
For everybody who is interested in the human psyche during extreme situations; you have got to read this book!: Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland; written by prof. C.R. Browning.
'He fired at it [the baby] with a .45. He missed. We all laughed. He got up three or four feet closer and missed again. We laughed. Then he got up right on top and plugged him.'
"Peers Inquiry: Report of the Department of the Army Review of the Preliminary Investigations into the My Lai Incident".
@wishihadamod Nazis in WW2 and the Japanese in WW2 had the same order but were still convicted at Numberg and Tokyo. But when applied to the US, it's perfectly legal.
No war is worth winning if we become like the Nazi's.Lineing women and children up in front of a ditch and shooting them.
How could these guys not see this was wrong? The chopper pilots that landed and recused about a dozen people from the massacre saw it was wrong ! They were not following orders.
Blame for this goes from before the massacre when intelligence reported that this village was full of hostiles only and all civillians already moved out to Nixon who was concerned about loseing some votes let these guys walk.
I dont know when these guys were taught that killing women and children was a valid order ? Im an american and i support our troups.This was wrong.This was shameful.This is time we were not the good guys and we just need to admit it and apoligize.
American troops should never have done this.Yes , you are taught to follow orders and i understand these troops were under great stress and had recentely suffered many loss of their own.Still when did it become american policy to slaughter civilans,children,babies? Even under orders. What imviorment was created that put american troops in the same role as Nazi concentration camp gaurds?
There is so much blame here that a book the size of War and Peace can be written.
@wishihadamod i do have sympathy in a strange way. my point was that you hear about hte atrocities that dictators and such commit but when it comes to the US, UK and the general western world, the media play it down or it gets covered up. i dont want to start an argument with anyone about it like most youtube videos end up as but the subject i was broaching was that a lot of these guys who participated went under military court and most only spent a very short time in prison. if at all
how, each and every man that participated in the massacre isnt in jail for life, or on death row, is beyond me. how man can do these things to his fellow human being i have no idea. it makes me lose faith in this world.
@TheHarderStylezzz sure then why are you so angry when cops go into people houses and accidentally kill women and children. You can't blame the cops for doing so.
I never said so. You know that the soldiers in Vietnam were under other circumstances than cops are. Most of those soldiers lost good friends, which also resulted in anger and taking wrong decisions. You can't compare cops and soldiers.
i am from INDIA, i read about this massacre .. from wikipedia, it was so horrible. i can imagine.the fear, brutality, inhuman acts...how can.. some one.. do this to.. innocent kids and women... ..

Im actually doing a research paper on this and im currently reading the book Four Hous in My Lai and i have to say that it was a tragic thing i understand that minds tend to break in war but that doesnt mean that u kill children, women/pregnant women, and the elderly.this is all inhuman. But i blame the higher ups like the commanders because the charlie company was taught not to trust any Vietnamese.
true.......tyhe americans seem to have this ideal, they can do what they want?.....
Lets face it from what i've read and heard, at the height of the war, most had lost all concept of reality, the bottom line is, the human mind will break at some point, but ultimatley the arsehole politicians are to answer, you jpoin the military, that's your choice, so you go to war, that's your job, you chose it!.
I find it funny that everyone concentrates on the bad that only the US did. What about the Vietcong and NVA? Do you know what they did to people that they thought supported democracy? They slaughtered entire villages even cities. They killed 16 times as many civillians as the US and that was all intentional.
Let it be known that Charlie company was full of psychopaths, fuck ups, and screwballs. Especially Lt.Calley who led them. My Lai is a pimple on the ass of what the North Vietnamese did.
@StalkingRainbow Source me some material, then I'll consider your statement. Also, no one concentrates on what the Americans done. Although the majority of wars that they start are purely for capitalist reasons and have a corrupt background.
@punhere yes they are buddy , lols the reason why they didn't make this a film is because america or should i say there army , fucked up big time they didn't want to start another fucking war with vietnam .
@punhere Actually Hollywood had a film about the massacre in production a couple years ago, but the writer's strike put a halt to it. Oliver Stone was to direct it.
how many my lai massacres happened that were not reported THIS is what happens when conscripts are sent to war,Charlie Comp suffered many injuries by booby traps my lai should never B repeated D GI in D clip showed remorse for D rest of his life WAS there any difference between D marines than D nazis that awful day.
@beckkaayyy I believe that's Vernado Sampson, he violently killed a fair few people during the massacre. Once he came back he felt bad about it so he had that book to remind himself every day of what he did. Look him up his story is pretty interesting. He eventually killed himself. Kinda feel bad for him, he was obviously remorsful of what he had done.
All that talk about following orders against their will is just a bloody excuse. If you read the details of how Calley killed the boy who crawled out of the ditch, you could see how enthusiastically he was in venting his racist hatred. By the way, all that talk about Hue and Dak Son massacre was just talk. Not proved. Probably designed to demonise the NVA. Why should the NVA killed innocent vietnamese ? They had no racist hatred to vent.
What happened at My Lai happened. But do any of you know what happened in Hue only months earlier? Or what happened at Dak Son the previous year? The NLF and NVA did their share, believe me. But horrible as it sounds, massacres happen in every war. But My Lai is the first one to come to light and be documented for the general public to observe. I wonder if WWII would be as justifiable in retrospect if we'd be privy to everything that had occurred.
It feels better to say follow orders, but inside its with those people. I know soldiers are trained to follow orders but aren't we all human? No one there felt it was wrong, i guess this was a case of major Conformity
@Louis1059 Yes we're all human, and you can understand following orders, but how do you explain the atrocities like bayoneting babies on the breast, or bayonetting pregnant womens' stomachs, or cutting tongues out of women ... all while they're still alive ... how do you explain that???
My fucking god. Can we stop using Nazi to describe something we do not like? Do you known what Nazism even is? But I still agree some shit going on is bad. Why not call them war criminals and not Nazis? Its just annoying.
All you people that say they should have gotten the electric chair, lethal injection or whatever... You people do realize that the death penalty is'nt the solution to it, right?
'coz i mean let's face it, if you give someone the death penalty, you'd practically only put him out of his misery. By putting him in jail for the rest of his life on the other hand, will definitly make it harder for 'em.
If i did something, and i'd get the death penalty for it, i'd be like "let's get it over with"
And only William Calley was convicted and served only 3 years of his life sentence. WHAT THE HELL!!! ALL 26 should have had a rendez vous with the lethal injection.
@TheMadMoravian It´s easy to blame the soldier in the field who is allways the most poor and uneducated group, who face real danger and witness their friends being killed and wounded. But the real criminals are those with Phd's who seat behind a desk in air conditioning rooms and sign orders that ultimately cause thousands of deaths.
@robto In this case....it's really not the case. Anyone could tell you that ordering this is an unlawful order. If a soldier refuses to follow it, they probably won't be charged if they prove it was unlawful
There's also the Incident on Hill 192 which is the kidnapping, gang rape, and murder of a Vietnamese woman in November 1966 by American soldiers during the Vietnam War. The U.S has funded more dictators and regimes than any other country. Using OECD the US has funded 19 world dictators totalling over $7 billion. 600,000 civilians were killed in cambodia alone by the americans.
@50poiuyt - COWARD COMMUNISTS - THIS 50POIUYT IS KHMER ROUGE - CRIMINAL WAR IN CAMBOJA AND VIETNAM - FREEDOM VIETNAM - DEMOCRACY FOR VIETNAM - SAT CONG / POL POT, H OCHI MIM AND 50POIUYT IS NAZIS,
@Wolfcape : they were not the only company like that and they are the ones who committed the crime. They had a choice. They made their own. Some decided to save My Lai inhabitants instead, as much as they could.
Those things are most likely to happen in warfare, I agree. I notice that we are still served the same old crap about "clean war", an that was particularly heard during 2nd Iraq war. But the same happened gain.
I just watched an hour and an half on the massacre of My Lai on NOVA and is pretty fucked up. Lt. Calley is the only member that was convicted in the massacre and yet Nixon pardoned him, overall he only served 4 months, i guess b/c is only took 4 hour to do the massacre so is only took 4 month to do the crime.
@IAm1337Tube ...Why did you Americans hate and kill 200,00 innocent Iraqis and not the individual SADDAM himself? Why were the GERMANS blamed for the Holocaust and not just some individuals? At least the Nazis were hung. You guys let your murderers walk the streets and expect PEACE. You know about what goes around..OK? Nothing blind abot this my friend.
Has anyone else read the novel 'In the Lake of the Woods'? It deals with a veteran suffering from the events of this massacre. It is a great novel, I would recommend it to anyone who is interested.
Who is the enemy? The guy that tries to kill you is the fucking enemy! That's who! What you don't do is take them for granted as the enemy and then commit massacres you imbecile!
@DetectiveMiau You can't say that man, Vietnam was different, you can't judge unless you were there. I am in no way trying to justify this atrocoty because it is an atrocoty, but it is not that easy, it was not all in black and white.
america is a nation stolen from the natives its birth is from the blood of children and women, a nation built of the shoulders of baby killers - what more could expect from half wit with a gun?
To coward Fred Widmer: you are not an example that should be allowed in public buildings as schools. You are an example of how a loser responds to what have happened. You were part of it and are no trying to clean your loser conscience by crying in front of US kids of how the system made you do that. Fuck your losers bonding. Shooting at point-blank range through a baby's head because he/she was considered to be loyal to VC. C'mon Fred, pick up that gun, put it at your head and pull the trigger
To the C-company (C stands for Coward as you know) that mass murdered at My Lai: Stop trying to find ways to clean you conscience during this life. You wont find it. As a true coward, you can blow the brain out of a baby and it's mother but you can't take your own life. This you realize every day. Now just think of how you can shine and leave that lowest level of humanity by buying that beautiful gun, put it gently in your mouth and simply pull the trigger. I know you all can do it! C'mon C Comp
...to obey their orders aren't murderers. They killed, not murdered. They were simply cowardly, a trait that appears too often on humans, including myself. Fair fucks though, to the men who refused to kill, including a man who shot himself in the foot to avoid killing anyone. It takes balls to do that. I don't believe, though, that Calley was truly repentant. If he was, he would have killed himself by now. I know I would have. RIP Simpson and all the Vietnamese who died that day, regardless if
@ssDaNss So what if you get fucked into a foreign jail? So what if you get your throat slit in your sleep? You're still human, or at least died human. Calley ordered his men to murder people who were, as far as he knew, completely innocent. He ordered the murder of women, children and elderly men. He, as far as I'm concerned, is not human. The soldiers who carried out his orders wilfully, and with at least indifference, are not human. Those men who didn't want to kill anyone, but felt they had
If you eat pork.. maybe you need to visit an abattoir
If you find yourself sharing a world with the servants of the US government.. i think that you are a better person and better equipped to deal with reality.. if you are familiar with the history.
This is an excellent documentary. It shows the heart of the weakness of humanity. All humanity, whether American, German, Vietnamese..... This is how people can be rallied to hate so much and kill without remorse. Dehumanization of another group due to propaganda, and the unquestioning of orders.
The fact that these american soldiers are resentful of what they did is good enough to me that they deserve to be forgived. Its not right what they did killing innocent and harmless people, but then again who is the real perpetrator in this crime: The government. So all you guys who say "Fuck USA, and I hope these soldiers rot in hell!!" put yourselves in their shoes. Again im not agreeing that what they did was right in fact I question their morality for what they did, but war is hell...
@PeiperJ2 -Then he was simply willing to perform in exchange for a fee,if he was really willing to talk about what happened then the truth would have been his motivation,not cash.It's not like it was the first time someone had contacted him wanting to know what happened,it was a well paying opportunity,and he certainly wasn't volunteering any information.
'He fired at it [the baby] with a .45. He missed. We all laughed. He got up three or four feet closer and missed again. We laughed. Then he got up right on top and plugged him.'
"Peers Inquiry: Report of the Department of the Army Review of the Preliminary Investigations into the My Lai Incident".
This was an atrocious act of cowardice that goes to show the ineffectiveness and inhumanity of conscription. However, comparing this to Fallujah??? That is ignorant and dangerous. Marines and soldiers today are nothing like this and the chances of an event like this conspiring today is next to none. These men that committed the massacre should have been executed for their crimes because there is nothing American about murder. The fascists and communists should keep a monopoly on that.
why did they kill them - what was the purpose, what did they gain?

I find it funny that everyone concentrates on the bad that only the US did. What about the Vietcong and NVA? Do you know what they did to people that they thought supported democracy? They slaughtered entire villages even cities. They killed 16 times as many civillians as the US and that was all intentional.
Let it be known that Charlie company was full of psychopaths, fuck ups, and screwballs. Especially Lt.Calley who led them. My Lai is a pimple on the ass of what the North Vietnamese did.

All that talk about following orders against their will is just a bloody excuse. If you read the details of how Calley killed the boy who crawled out of the ditch, you could see how enthusiastically he was in venting his racist hatred. By the way, all that talk about Hue and Dak Son massacre was just talk. Not proved. Probably designed to demonise the NVA. Why should the NVA killed innocent vietnamese ? They had no racist hatred to vent.
awc321 1 year ago
What happened at My Lai happened. But do any of you know what happened in Hue only months earlier? Or what happened at Dak Son the previous year? The NLF and NVA did their share, believe me. But horrible as it sounds, massacres happen in every war. But My Lai is the first one to come to light and be documented for the general public to observe. I wonder if WWII would be as justifiable in retrospect if we'd be privy to everything that had occurred.
