J's dad wrote an amazing play about that.
Quote:
Body Count is the story of My Lai, the Vietnamese village massacred by a unit of the American army in 1968. This appalling episode shocked the American public and gave impetus to the anti-war movement.
This powerful one-woman play takes the form of an objective but horrifying account of one of the worst military atrocities in recent times. It is also a deeply moving and poetic lament for the folly and pity of war.
