Retired General Clark urges reprimand not court martial over My Lai
Gen Mark Clark, who led U N forces in Korea, says Lt William Calley should have been removed from command and reprimanded for My Lai but not court martialed. He insists no order to kill all in a village was given and calls for administrative action against all involved. Stevenson and Bayh condemn Nixon for intervening in the case, urging lawful, impartial review. Capt Ronald Salem says jurors in Calley’s court martial view the sentence as highly speculative.
