It was such a shock when it happened. The Army covered the massacre up for a year and then, when they couldn't contain the story any more, finally put one second lieutenant, William Calley, on trial.
Even though convicted, he was quietly released from house arrest ( yes, you read that right ) a few years later. No senior officers were ever charged.
