I am still unconvinced that the My Lai massacre was a Phoenix Operation.I see it as a Military Operation gone very very bad.This massacre is not of the Phoenix MO.It makes NO SENSE to me for a secret CIA program to expose itself by killing hundreds of women/children.Remember,their were unit photographers there to record the action.If this operation had as it's initial goal to wipe out a whole village(including women and children),there would have been NO photographers present.
I think that there should be a clear distinction made between regular Army troops,and Special Forces activities.This should be clear to everyone.As David mentioned,the Phoenix operatives had their orders,and carried them out.They completed their mission,and show no remorse.Now take a look at the soldiers that were involved.I will post two shorter videos from the British documentary "Four Hours In My Lai".Clearly what you see are Broken Men.............
So Jan or anyone else,tell me what you think of my observations.These are not subjects that I like to talk about,but I'm of an open mind today.It was on this day 41 years ago that my War came to an end on a small jungle foot path.My mind wanders back.
