This was terrible. I was wondering if this would get covered. I studied about it in college. Americans murdered 400+ hundred of civilians and lied about it

with a small group of Vietnamese women, in the small village of Ba Ngoi. This was months before the My Lai massacre became public knowledge. They were loud and animated, saying that Americans killed "beaucoup" Vietnamese, women and children. I recall telling them that "No, America did not do such things".
It was shortly after Tet '68 and many soldiers were still angry and revengeful.
I never heard about it again until after I had returned to the States.
