Fifty years ago at the height of the American War in Vietnam an event known as the My Lai Massacre took place in a small village. Five hundred civilians were killed by U.S. troops. This traveling exhibit created by Veterans For Peace uses the My Lai Massacre as the lens to view the tragic impact of the war on the people of Vietnam and Southeast Asia. It invites us to renew our commitment to wor...

If you are interested in how war plays tricks on you, please watch my documentary First Kill with heartbreaking and chilling testimonies of veterans, Billy the tunnelrat, warcorrespondent Michael Herr and photographer Eddie Adams ruclips.net/video/X052zjtV1i8/видео.html
The horror and constant grind of war will make any human being capable of anything.......anything. This fact is as old as the first battle between men.
Serial killers. Thats all they are.
Gary garfolo is my dads cousin
Is he still around? If so, I would be interested in interviewing him and talking about our organization, Veterans For Peace. Thanks.
11:30 he's lying. He's in a different video, looking a lot rougher, describing what he did. He describes it in graphic detail
I've seen interviews of soldiers involved in atrocities in the Vietnam war, and you know what? I don't think any of them have a shred of remorse for what they have done, the guy in the car is like : what's all the fuss about it ? I didn't think there would be so much publicity, these kind of things were going down all the time... Truly shocking.
One soldier shot himself in the foot to get out shooting the villagers
How do u do this and then live with yourself?
The guy in the black shirt and the other in the brown shirt and mustache are definitely high on dope, you can just see it in their face, What a shame because they probably picked it up over there.
no matter how many conventions or laws are established. In times of war these allways go out the window. I'm pretty sure there has been some war crimes in Ukraine too or in syria.
Either, pure chance brought together a large group of psychopaths and sociopaths, who took pleasure in killing innocent people and recounting the tale later OR the "massacre" was a deliberate hoax that pointed blame at the common GI and allowed to military industrial complex to justify its withdrawal from Vietnam. The smirking appears to be because they are fooling us, rather then because they are all psychopathic killers. This also explains why Nixon let Calley off. It also explains why it supposedly happened to south Vietnamese, rather than a VC village. Edited to add: "We didn't think this would be such a publicity stunt."
I think this kind of thing happened fairly often in Vietnam, but I don't think most of them were as bad as My Lai. It is a stain on American honor. I doubt if special operations units did that too, because they had more discipline. But the worst thing we did in that war was "Operation Rolling Thunder", the bombing campaign we conducted in Vietnam. It was the largest bombing campaign in history, and we killed a lot of people.
You know about any rapes?? Yes
Calley and his men acted like the Nazis that day, his men casually tell how they raped and killed children and all ages, Why didn't they die for War Crimes? That chilling "We were following orders" And the lack of remorse, I did see another video in 1988 and the black marine is in it and by then he was a DMW he had about 18 bottles of pills to take and shook, I read he eventually took his life, This should never have happened, the US Army should learn and show they wont allow their men to be war criminals. The sick part is the war crims got away
sounds like these men were led to a set up.
US Army Veteran here. *EVERY* individual in this interview is a sociopathic monster.
I'm a Nam Era vet. I have 1 question for you and you want know the answer bc I knew a soldier who was in that village the day before the massacre.... Do you know why that village was called Pinksville by the troops? I'll wait!
@@michaeloliveri1907 the topographic map color coding to indicate population density in the village. Idk what your point is, or you just heard some other scuttle butt back then but the name pinkville was coined due to it's pink coloration defining population density on the maps.
@michaeloliveri1907 tell us what u think the reason is
@@michaeloliveri1907 “Nam era vet” is Army-ese for “I wasn’t in-country.”
@@johnwallace3990 Most likely in the rear taking advantage of impoverished Asian girls back then. Reason why I don’t thank every “Nam era” vet. You never know what they did out there.
And it's still happening to this day
Geezuz krist man i cant believe these monsters talk so casually. I get it tho.....they will deal with padt memories in due time.....WAR SUX...
How can these American fools even regard themselves as men? They are pathetic worms.
Lt William Calley gave the orders to search and destroy. He gave the orders on his own authority. He was convicted and court martialed for 22 counts of murder. He served three years under house arrest with overwhelming support from conservative patriotic groups. He's still living in Gainsville Florida to this day.
When I was in, there were lots of guys, we called them bullshitters, who would make up shit just to feel special. Can't say for sure, but it would be interesting to see the interviews on the cutting room floor from this antiwar organization. I'm glad it's not on my conscience, but I'm not going to condemn it out of hand. These guys had good reason to hate the Vietnamese in their minds.
The crimes US troops committed at My Lai are well documented by the Army's investigation into the massacre. It documents rape, mutilation of bodies and murder of women and children...
@Randy_Richmond This is why the bias of the media can't be forgiven. Vietnam was divided into 2 polities, north and south, in 1540, not 1955. The Nguyen (south) and Tranh (north) fought 20 major wars until the French took over. Neither side wanted to reunite, they wanted to conquer the other. We were there at the INVITATION of the South Vietnamese government, who were overmatched because of the Chinese and Russian involvement.
captain medine you better hope you dont run in me you motherfucker.
what shame. i was in the marines and we would give our sea rats to the kids. i always felt sorry for them.
these are the same people that point fingers to Russia
Better to not go to war
WW2 we killed 100s of thousands of unarmed folks
They were ordered to do this It’s war and hell
That doesn't justify shooting unarmed civilians.
@@AutumnBun321 Were you there?
@@sranney1 Obviously not. What does that have to do with it? "Orders are orders" is a B.S excuse for a crime.
@@AutumnBun321 well they were fighting very people in the Vietnam War isn’t pretty war happens there should stay there
“Good job! Get you a case of beer for that one.”
These troops at my Lai were total animals it was reported after they did all this killing they just set down next to all the bodies and were eating their c rats and smoking cigarettes real sick individuals.
There are popele who even say they were VC
@@user-td2jw9ze2c they weren't vc if you hey we're don't you think they would of shot back?
@@YoshiYoshedahow many hours the massacre lasted?
Americans came to Vietnam to kill little girls, women, and kids for fun. That is a truth that Americans will never accept.
Yet people thank them for their service
Amen
at 6:51 A RAT SCURRIES right behind the guy talking about the beginning of the killing...it seems as if these guys left their souls behind them in My Lai or they never developed their souls prior...in any case this is murder...God forgive them
16:29 looking pretty guilty 😔
And there leaders got off which is an utter disgrace
Horrible ........
Jacobs ladder
Those murderers baby killers and innocent people look so proud recalling the even
America prosecute war criminal's but not thy own
Need interview with commanding officer, Colin Powell.
I recognise the guy in the yellow shirt from Thunderbirds.
Its weird how casual and aloof they are about it. Simpson is young here, but in the video where he is older, he realizes exactly what he had done, and it breaks him
Look Varnado Simpson and watch his story about being @ My Lai.
Genocidal Maniacs
I can appreciate that our history teacher taught us this in high school. Not sure if it was mandatory to learn but he taught it
11:58 what tha fuuuu...😮😢
It's so easy to be evil...
War criminal
This is what politicians do to people.
I remember this happening and how shocked people were.
no honor. period. some people had and served with honor like the helicopter pilot. but these people, no honor. disrespected your humanity, your country, your oath... sad criminal and shameful. history is filled with men serving with honor. if you don't have the balls to disobey such orders, then you are as bad and dishonorable as the assholes that gave the order.
