My Lai: 50 Years Ago Today
#3
RE: My Lai: 50 Years Ago Today
Here's a bizarre pro-My Lai song that I would never have believed was a real thing, especially since I discovered it, with lyrics, in the pages of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (it did not make it into the movie):






Even Hunter S. Thompson wasn't sure this wasn't just another hallucination when he first heard it. But I googled it (maybe Youtubed it; I'm not sure if I knew Youtube was a even a thing when I first read the book, and I don't remember if they had anywhere near all the music they have now, even adjusting for 12 years of music history) and sure enough, I found out it was a real thing. 

Fortunately, Calley himself has since apologised for his role in the massacre:
William Calley Wrote:"There is not a day that goes by that I do not feel remorse for what happened that day in My Lai. I feel remorse for the Vietnamese who were killed, for their families, for the American soldiers involved and their families. I am very sorry... If you are asking why I did not stand up to them when I was given the orders, I will have to say that I was a 2nd Lieutenant getting orders from my commander and I followed them—foolishly, I guess."
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.

I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad.
