Good evening.
"Almost as bad as what Calley and his men did was the cover-up that went all the way to the Division CG."
I could be mistaken, but I believe Colin Powell may have been part of the attempted cover-up and got his ticket punched by being part of the team.

The ADC was retired as a Colonel and there were many reprimands that ended careers. It's always seemed unlikely to me that a CPT/MAJ in the DIV G-3 would not have known what had gone on that day at My Lai. I like General Powell but I believe some things would have come out had he ever put himself up as a candidate for President.
