| abstract
| - The massacre took place in the hamlets of Mỹ Lai and My Khe of Sơn Mỹ village. The event is also known as the Sơn Mỹ Massacre (Vietnamese: thảm sát Sơn Mỹ) or sometimes as the Song Mỹ Massacre. The US military codeword for the "Viet Cong [sic] stronghold" was "Pinkville". When the incident became public knowledge in 1969, it prompted global outrage. The massacre also increased domestic opposition to the US involvement in the Vietnam War. Three US servicemen who had tried to halt the massacre and protect the wounded were initially denounced by several US Congressmen as traitors in an attempt to cover up the massacre. They received hate mail and death threats and found mutilated animals on their doorsteps. The three were later widely praised and decorated by the army for their heroic actions.
- My Lai is an extinct Vietnamese village and the name of a historic massacre which took place there in 1968. Located somewhere in middle earth between South and North Vietnam it was closed in disgrace before the US conflict ended in 1975. The rampage at My Lai was a US Army cluster fuck ostensibly carried out to relieve pent up frustration and nervous tension by using unarmed humans (including babies), domestic animals, chickens, and even belligerent Dung Beetles for target practice. Initially a clandestine resort for grunts with itchy trigger fingers My Lai's existence remained secret up until the moronic if not misanthropic deeds of an over-zealous warrior, Second Lieutenant William Calley, attracted unwanted attention of the knee-jerk liberal press. When the mass media discovered the existence of the My Lai debacle an international uproar ensued. The resulting inglorious controversy signaled the beginning-of-the-end for America's involvement in perpetrating the Vietnam War. It also changed the face of warfare by establishing the creation of international uproars as a new battle strategy.
