Considering that millions of vietnamese were massacred during the whole war, you are right. My Lai was just a microcosm of an even greater atrocity.
> The Vietnam war was meant to block the expansion of communism which at that time had a fair amount of blood on its hand.
So using that logic, vietnam could invade the US because we have a fair amount of blood on our hands?
Why didn't we invade australia which was wiping out the aborigines?
It just seems like rationalizations just for the sake of rationalization. Like we invaded iraq to bring freedom.
