Battle Hymn Of Lt. Calley

Calley, Scapegoat?
Sentenced to life in prison, Calley was seen as a scapegoat for the Army's failure to instill morale and discipline in its troops. Upon appeal, his sentence was reduced. He was eventually released from prison in 1974. He later found work in the insurance business. You will not find this info on sites that exist to only condemn this man.

The Battle Hymn of Lt. Calley is a 1971 spoken word recording with vocals by Terry Nelson and music by pick-up group C-Company.

@SINKNINE Killing civilians for the sake of revenge is aways wrong, wether those civilians are vietnamese or american. But I agree, don't whine about how terrorist are evil when you support this monster.

[Barbarapapa19]

A mass murderer. Nothing more, and nothing less.

9/11, STOP WHINGEING, IT EVENED THINGS UP.

Battle Hymn to a War Criminal. Classy.

@libertyordeaf Just like abu graib, the officers who ordered what went on at that prison havent even been named.

[libertyordeaf]

@THEBURNINGTIGERS Well if you're saying he was a scapegoat then you're exactly right. There were 26 charged with the murders at My Lai, plus another 14 for covering it up, and Calley was the only one convicted. But to suggest he was entirely or even mostly responsible is ridiculous. There was group psychology involved. They should have all been charged and held accountable, particularly Calley, Medina and the other officers.

@bearriver666 No, only Americans can sink that low

[THEBURNINGTIGERS]

@libertyordeaf I don't think he massacred the village because of stupidity, I think he got caught because of it, is it really no supriser that the only people arrested at abu graib were a sqaud of fellons borderline retards IE fallguys. Its like if a group of kids go and steal from a store, theirs always some dum kid that everyone has picked to take the blame if everything goes to hell

Not sure I put Calley in the same league as Hitler and Himmler. He was an example of what happens when you give a mindless high school drop-out a rank then drop him into a perverse war that US soldiers had no reasonable chance of winning. He was a war criminal who deserved life behind bars, but he wasn't the Devil.

Amusing , the first song I have never heard about a racist mass murderer

Do the Germans have songs like this about people who ran concentration camps ?

Do the israelis have any song about the murderers at Deir Yassin ?
