Episode 679: My Lai Massacre Part IV - Making a Massacre
This week, the boys descend into Gold Star Territory, concluding the story of the My Lai Massacre with the horrifying events of March 16, 1968, as Charlie Company descends upon the village of My Lai and carries out one of the darkest atrocities in American military history.
From chopper pilot Hugh Thompson’s heroic attempt to stop the slaughter to the massive cover-up, Seymour Hersh’s investigation, and the trials that followed, we examine how the truth of My Lai finally reached the American public… and how nearly everyone responsible walked away.
