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.
