1968 - Vietnam: My Lai Massacre, American soldiers murder civilians. Carrying on the tradition of 'teaching' American values to the godless & the communist , Captain Medina leads a 'victorious' attack on the village of Xom Lang, near My Lai in South Vietnam. While the upper brass circles overhead in helicopters, the men of Charlie Company, First Battalion, American Division, enters the hamlet of My Lai 4, in South Vietnam's Quang Ngai Province, & methodically & ruthlessly murders an estimated 347 civilians over an 8-hour period. Most are women, children & old men. Some are slain by bullets fired into their houses, others were herded into small groups & mowed down, & still more died when they were hurled into a ditch & sprayed with automatic rifle fire. The Army will first try to cover it up & the US media will refuse to report it. Later they will portray it as a aberration, one bad guy (Calley), one good guy (who stops it). Calley is later convicted, sent to his room for being a bad boy, then released. http://www.fortunecity.com/tinpan/parton/2/mylai1.html 1969 - Antonio Pereira (1908-1969) dies.
