Today, 58 years ago, on March 16 1968 US Army soldiers committed the My Lai Massacre. The US soldiers raped, tortured and killed between 347 and 504 unarmed Vietnamese civilians, primarily women, children, babies and the elderly, in the village of My Lai. This incident became a significant symbol of the war's brutality and led to widespread outrage and calls for accountability within the US military. Nothing has changed that much since then, except there is no widespread outrage today for the atrocities the US military and its vassals commit on regular basis.
