American war criminal William Calley is dead
The American war criminal William Calley is dead. He passed in April, but his death has just now been reported. He is a man who does not deserve to pass anonymously on his way to hell. He was a coward and a murderer who did not seek and was not given forgiveness, though it was his for the asking. This is the story of my visit to the villiage of Mỹ Lai on the eve of the 55th anniversary of the massacre:
Thank you, Steve. I had not read your 2023 article until just now. You make us stare evil in the face, and acknowledge “we have met the enemy, and he is us.” I have often realized these past years of Trump, and especially these days, that our triumphant cry(me included!) about the Germans and Hitler, “that could never happen here,” was a delusion. It can and is happening here. Cruelty and even violence and even death in service to???
Looking at our nation’s history, from the joyful extermination of Native Americans, to slavery, to lynchings to Emmett Till, to My Lai, shows I was so naive and so wrong. Humanity is capable of unspeakable depravity. “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9.
Thank you for reminding us of that again today.
I am a Vietnam veteran who served in Vietnam at that time and belong to the American Legion. There was a lot of discussion how His terrible actions caused A LOT of backlashes against us who served Honorably. Another dark event.
