The good thing was the fact that they weren't hanged or killed. It's better to let them suffer with the memories of the incident and let them live with it for the rest of their lives. Take Varnado Simpson for example, "The baby’s face was half gone, my mind just went…and I just started killing. Old men, women, children, water buffaloes, everything… I just killed… That day in My Lai, I was personally responsible for killing about 25 people. Personally. Men, women. From shooting them, to cutting their throats, scalping them, to...cutting off their hands and cutting out their tongues. I did it." His son was later killed after he returned from Vietnam: "He died in my arms. And when I looked at him, his face was like the same face of the child that I had killed. And I said: This is the punishment for killing the people that I killed.". He later commited suicide after being locked inside his home, being haunted by those memories. I personally think the real heros were the three men in the helicopter who stopped the massacre and save the remaining people. They, who had tried to halt the massacre and protect the wounded, were later denounced by US Congressmen. They received hate mail and death threats and found mutilated animals on their doorsteps. It was 30 years before they were honored for their efforts. Some thanks huh? I blame our corrupt leaders who only want power and money, they don't give a crap about the people they work for. There are to many bullshit wars going on because a bunch of assholes are making false accusation. They are the reason why people are dying, why wars are started, and why massacres like this continue. Its times like this I wish we can start all over from zero...
