For the area to be forested the wetlands must be highly productive which too me suggests rice production. This makes my guess SE Asia, Vietnam or Cambodia. |

All I can say is that when Google has an old satellite image such as this, the area is not of much importance.
Is this even a satellite shot from Google? |

Re: Terrain Challenge #23 (Score: 1) by Lestayo on Tue Dec 15, 2009 10:44 pm (User Info | Send a Message) | I think that I got it. This is the place of the My Lai masacre, in Vietnam.
It was the mass murder conducted by a unit of the U.S. Army on March 16, 1968 of 347 to 504 unarmed citizens in South Vietnam, all of whom were civilians and a majority of whom were women, children, and elderly people.
Many of the victims were sexually abused, beaten, tortured, and some of the bodies were found mutilated. The massacre took place in the hamlets of M? Lai and My Khe of S?n M? village during the Vietnam War. While 26 US soldiers were initially charged with criminal offenses for their actions at My Lai, only William Calley was convicted. He served only three years of an original life sentence, while on house arrest.
Bye. |

You got it right. It is indeed my lai. The photo wasn't a very good one but it is the best one there is.
I first came accros this 'event' during our spirtual education wich we have to attend to in the army. It showed us a report on this action. It was focussed on the US troops whom took part in the murder. telling their point of view. how they where dragged along in to this and how senior officers behaved around this all... I found it staggering how easily troops where drawn in to this kind of behaviour... and especially the the behaviour of the commander on scene.
Following a link to the UK wikipedia page...

Congrats Lestayo. |
