Here's the post that made the Mudcat fall down, I think:

gaaaaahhhh I had blanked out the ditch incident at My Lai- I retained the image of their firing into the group of unarmed civilians, including women, children and aged men, and killing almost everyone. I just reread several accounts of what happened later- after his pardon Calley married and one link said that he is now working in Columbus, Georgia for his father in law. Can you imagine marrying the man?

daylia, your quote says Some of the dead were mutilated by having "C Company" carved into their chests; some were disemboweled. One GI would later say, "You didn't have to look for people to kill, they were just there. I cut their throats, cut off their hands, cut out their tongues, scalped them. I did it. A lot of people were doing it and I just followed. . This seems hyperbolic, not to say entirely false, to me- no such charges were made nor was any such activity reported. Would you give me the link where you found that statement? Thanks.
