Demotion of Koster over My Lai inquiry
Secretary of the Army Stanley Resor demoted Major General Samuel Koster and stripped him of the Distinguished Service Medal for failing to adequately investigate the My Lai massacre. Koster, a former West Point superintendent, was reduced to brigadier general and argued he knew nothing of the tragedy until months after it occurred. The action followed months of study after the dismissal of cover-up charges against Koster and Brig. Gen. George Young, with Resor citing Koster’s failure to use available investigative resources and his responsibility as division commander.
