Calley, used rifles, machine guns, bayonets, and grenades to kill the villagers. Old men, women who begged and prayed for mercy, children, and babies were murdered by the soldiers. Several young girls were raped and killed. Estimates of the number of villagers massacred at My Lai ranged from 300 to 500; the final army estimate was 347. Of the 100 soldiers who entered My Lai about 30 participated in the killing. Most of the other soldiers did not participate, but they did not try to stop the killing. Some testified later that they thought their lives would be in danger if they tried to stop their fellow soldiers<\/em>.\u201d \u2013 My Lai Massacre \u2013 JRank.org<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thevietnamwar.info\/my-lai-massacre\/\" >My Lai Massacre \u2013 TheVietnamWar.info<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/alphahistory.com\/vietnam\/my-lai-massacre\/\" >The My Lai massacre \u2013 AlphaHistory.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.u-s-history.com\/pages\/h1873.html\" >My Lai Massacre \u2013 United States History \u2013 U-S-History.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wgbh\/amex\/vietnam\/trenches\/my_lai.html\" >\u201c<em>On March 16, 1968 the angry and frustrated men of Charlie Company, 11th Brigade, Americal Division entered the Vietnamese village of My Lai. \u2018This is what you&#8217;ve been waiting for &#8212; search and destroy &#8212; and you&#8217;ve got it,\u2019 said their superior officers.

It was, perhaps, the most comprehensively destroyed town of any size in either Bosnia-Herzegovina or Croatia during the wars of the first half of the 1990s. Capture of the town was an important strategic objective for the Serb-dominated Yugoslav army. It was designed to consolidate Serb control over the region of Croatia known as eastern Slavonia. That objective was achieved, even though there was little left, apart from than ruins, following the siege.

It was the centrepiece of a day-long event to mark the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Kosovo, which spelled the defeat of the medieval Serbian kingdom at the hands of the Ottoman Empire, as well as the annexation of most of Serbia&#8217;s territory aside from the Serbian Despotate. The speech was delivered to a huge crowd gathered at the place where the battle had been fought, Gazimestan in Central Kosovo. It came against a backdrop of intense ethnic tension between ethnic Serbs and Albanians in Kosovo and increasing political tensions between Serbia and the other constituent republics of the then Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia caused by the \u2018anti-bureaucratic revolution\u2019<\/em>\u201d.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/yugoslavtruth.blogspot.com\/2006\/02\/myth-in-november-1988-slobodan.html\" ><strong>YUGOSLAV TRUTH:<\/strong> Myth: In November 1988 Slobodan Milosevic had the popularly elected Albanian leaders of Kosovo removed and replaced with his hand-picked puppets. &#8211; \u201c<em>FACT: In November 1988 a part of the leadership of the Provincial League of Communists (LC) of Kosovo, acknowledging their failure in implementing the agreed policy of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia (LCY) on Kosovo, resigned.

Several young girls were raped and killed. Estimates of the number of villagers massacred at My Lai ranged from 300 to 500; the final army estimate was 347. Of the 100 soldiers who entered My Lai about 30 participated in the killing. Most of the other soldiers did not participate, but they did not try to stop the killing.
