Forty Years, Plus A Week Ago, A Five-Foot Four-Inch Perpetual Fuck-up & Habitual Failure


Namwed Lt. William "Rusty" Calley led his Charlie Company of 1st Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment, 11th Brigade, 23rd Infantry Division (the Americal Division) into a little Vietnamese 'ville called My Lai. Wikipedia has a plain-spoken, even-handed description of the deeds that ensued. Read it, and remember Fallujah, Haditha, Samara, and all those other denials...

Calley's not still in jail, though he should be. According to the biographical Wiki on him, "In 2007, Calley agreed to be interviewed to discuss the massacre, saying, "Meet me in the lobby of the nearest bank at opening time tomorrow, and give me a certified check for $25,000, then I'll talk to you for precisely one hour."[4] However, when confronted with journalist's questions, Calley fled the scene." Once a chickenshit...

Somehow, the SCUM (SoCalledUnbiasedMedia) let this particular anniversary slip by. Can't imagine how that would happen, can you?
