It is the anniversary of mass murder and rape by an occupying army.
You can be forgiven for not knowing this.
As it won't get anything like the same sort of hype and mass-media treatment that is reserved for the 'Jewish' WW2 narrative'. Even though it is much more recent, and more relevant to current war crimes. More relevant because the guilty army has been unpunished and has continued to participate and support atrocities in recent times (Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Yemen, Gaza, etc.)
Some war crimes are apparently more worthy of mass-media hyperbole than others.
Some mass-murders don't serve any useful purpose in terms of trans-Atlantic neo-colonialist, or zionist political education of the TV watching masses.
No-one ever was punished then, at the time of the massacre being exposed.
And no-one (yet) who was involved has been or will be paraded before the cameras in their old age in shame, show-trials to impress upon us the 'consumers' of western propaganda that we should “never forget”.
Nor are we instructed to repeat the bogus and hypocritical, feel-good mantra of “never again”?
A junior officer (Calley) was chosen as a scapegoat (which doesn’t make him any less culpable) and found guilty but later given a Presidential pardon by Richard Nixon. The Peers investigation report was even told not to refer to it as a massacre and described it as an ‘incident’. Ultimately no one was held responsible.
Notice how the self-deluded folks who are the regular H-defenders here, haven't mentioned this well-documented racist mass-murder and rape. Could this be demonstrating they aren't really interested in preserving historical truth of racist war-crimes, nor in memorialising such racist warcrimes?
March 16th 2017 marks the 49th anniversary of the My Lai Massacre that occurred in Vietnam. To say that it was a sad day in the history of our country is a gross understatement. Our United States military systematically slaughtered approx. 300 Vietnamese women, children, infants and old men in the tiny village of My Lai.
Our country’s attention span is short; and revisiting old wounds, as we all know, can be painful. The result is that this event has been relegated to the “dust bin” of history...
To some extent, the youthful soldiers with limited life experiences were duped into believing the people they were killing were some kind of sub species and with that mindset, accompanied by direct orders from their superiors, it allowed them to drop their moral compass and carry out this terrible atrocity.
In their historical overview of the massacre, James Olson and Randy Roberts compile information about sexual violence from the Peers Inquiry to produce a list of 20 acts of rape based on eyewitness testimony. The victims documented on this list ranged from age 10-45. Of these women and girls, nine were under the age of eighteen. Many of these assaults were gang rapes and many involved sexual torture. This list does not even include attempted rapes, such as the assault of the girl in the black blouse, and given that most witnesses were killed during the massacre, we may only guess at how many other women and girls experienced sexual violence in the final minutes before their deaths.
