My Lai massacre is impossible to forget

Also this year I could not stop myself to thing about My Lai and to pay respect to the victims. 42 years ago on 16 March I was not even born, my mother was just a teenager, in Italy we thought to understand all about the new amazing world leaded by US going to bring the men to the moon few months later. The cold war was at its best, but was not cold on the other side of the planet. In a remote village of Vietnam William Calley guided the company “C” to the massacre of an entire Vietnamese village. Women was raped and shot, children were killed by the bayonet, and the elder was consumed by flamethrower while embracing the babies trying to protect them. The leaders and responsible, thanks to Nixon, just got sentenced 2 years of jail changed later in few months. Today, after all those years, was admitted that it was a massacre and nothing else, it was never established how many human beings were killed.
