mar 16, 1968 - My Lai
Description:
In March 1968, an American patrol group on a search and destroy mission entered a small village called My Lai while looking for members of the Vietcong. No Vietcong were found but over 400 civilians were massacred.This further decreased support for the war and increased the credibility gap created between the government and the people.
