My Lai massacre inquiry and Calley court martial recap
The Peers inquiry names 28 officers from generals to enlisted men who covered up My Lai. Calley faced murder charges in 1969 and 1971, was sentenced to life then reduced to 20 years, served under house arrest, and had conviction overturned on appeal. The incident led to resignations, demotions, and a national reexamination of war ethics.
