	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/My Lai Massacre
		The My Lai Massacre (approximately [mi.˧˩˥'lɐːj˧˧]) (thảm sát Mỹ Lai) was the mass murder of 347 to 504 unarmed Vietnamese civilians, mostly women and children, conducted by U.S. Army forces on March 16, 1968, in the hamlet of My Lai, during the Vietnam War.
		In the spring of 1972, the camp (at My Lai 2) where the survivors of the My Lai Massacre had been relocated was largely destroyed by ARVN (South Vietnamese) artillery and aerial bombardment.
		Some have argued that the outcome of the My Lai courts martial was a reversal of the laws of war that were set forth in the Nuremberg and Tokyo War Crimes Tribunals.

	The Legacy of My Lai by Alexander Cockburn, March 26, 1988 (Beat The devil) from Selections from The Nation magazine ...
		And, in fact, set against the backdrop of the maniacal B-52 bombings in the South and the free-fire clearances conducted by the United States through 1968 and 1969, My Lai was nothing special in the way of war crimes.
		But My Lai became the war crime of choice, and its ultimate exposure in the United States was due entirely to the courage of one man, Ron Ridenhour.
		As the man sings, If I had a rocket launcher, I'd make somebody pay." My Lai remains a symbol, just an intimation of what happened in that destroyed land where they made a desert and had the effrontery to call it defeat, thus requiring that "honor" be retrieved and "resolve" be demonstrated on battlefields elsewhere.

	MY LAI
		My Lai was not a "war crime" because the victims were not enemy aliens in an occupied territory.30 Even though not technically "war crimes," what occurred at My Lai clearly fell within the list of crimes specified by Congress in the Uniform Code of Military Justice - murder, assault, rape, and larceny, among others.
		My Lai teaches that when soldiers behave criminally and unprofessionally, their cause can be damaged and they and their comrades may die in vain.
		My paper was entitled "Basis and Role of the Military in a Constitutional Democracy." The second conference in Heidelberg, Germany, on June 28-30, 1994 entitled "Conference on Military Support of Democratization in Europe" involved the Ministers of Defense of the former Warsaw Pact countries.
