"Twenty years later I was speaking to my son's HS History class.
I asked how many knew about My Lai? Only one hand went up. "


Sad, sad, sad...to see how wretched (and dishonest) the teaching of
history has become in about one generation.
You had an experience that matches that of the historian David McCullough;
scroll down to the heading of "Our Failure, Our Duty" and read
the first paragraph (under that heading).

Thanks.

I remember at the time of the Peers Commission and the Calley Court-Martial, everyone figured the military would never forget. Didn't take long.
