Calley Apologizes for 1968 My Lai Massacre. Democracy Now 8/24/09

Over forty-one years after the My Lai Massacre, when US troops killed more than 500 men, women and children in Vietnam, the former Army lieutenant who was convicted for his role in the killings has publicly apologized. William Calley was the only US soldier held legally responsible for the slayings. He was convicted on twenty-two counts of murder, and his sentence was later commuted by President Reagan. Last week, William Calley publicly apologized for the first time, saying, There is not a day that goes by that I do not feel remorse for what happened that day in My Lai." He added that he had been following orders.

@Aggiesgigem Bullshit. I was a former Marine with 3/5 and I did 2 tours in Iraq. Enemy combatants usually carry AK-47s and RPGs. They don't carry babies and older women don't carry RPGs. So what if they lied about VCs not being in their village? Does that give you the right to shoot them up front? Hell fucking NO! This piece of shit William Cawley is a disgrace to anyone who have worn the uniform in service and should have faced the firing squad a long time ago.

Calley lives and Thompson is dead. Upside down world.

How often did he suck Nixons dick?

That garbage should have been slaughtered long ago. The best way he may apologize is by commiting suicide - mother fucker!!! -

As I told many years my German friends: "Wouldn't Hitler's boys like to have such a great support from the world? The difference is that they lost, otherwise, the Nazi killers (not different from our owns) would have gone free and alive." I just came across this site (no space): sail (dot) to / du666

every one of these guys should do the right thing and kill himself

[TheMediTerranian]

Shame on anybody who kills with no remorse

Illegal orders must be disobeyed. My military service was pretty limited (musician in 56th Regiment HQ Band, New York Guard, 1978-79) but even I know THAT

[ejames80]

The guy has a tough gutz to see him on the mirror and not wanted to kill his miserable self.

@inilledra I surely hope we could meet in a bar somewhere so I could teach your ass everything about Rules of Engagement, sometimes I don't abide by them. Get my drift little boy?
