The My Lai Massacre is a stark reminder of the brutal realities in Vietnam, encapsulating the brutality of warfare and systemic failures in moral judgment.
Calley's orders were ambiguous, suggesting that anyone in My Lai might be Viet Cong, which led to the tragic misinterpretation of civilians as enemies.
The documented horrors, including killings and rapes of unarmed civilians, underscore the depth of the tragedy and the lasting impact of such atrocities.
Despite the army photographer capturing the massacre, the collective memory of the event remains suppressed, revealing the harsh truth about historical accountability.
