Bump for this thread on My Lai and the Phoenix Program, including articles by Douglas Valentine.
My Lai was originally lauded as a highly successful military operation.
When it was clear that the details of the massacre would out, and the likes of Major Colin Powell could no longer cover up the atrocity, the official narrative became that My Lai was an aberration.
Doug Valentine's position is that My Lai was a Phoenix Program operation.
