Ernest Lou Medina 1936-2018
Army captain who was accused of overall responsibility for the March 1968 mass killings of unarmed South Vietnamese men, women and children by troops he commanded in what became known as the My Lai massacre, but was acquitted at a court-martial
(...)
On March 16, 1968, a month and a half after North Vietnamese and Vietcong forces launched the Tet offensive, wide-ranging attacks that stunned the American military command in the Vietnam War, Captain Medina and the three platoons of his infantry company entered the village of My Lai in South Vietnam’s south central coast region.
What happened over the hours that followed became one of darkest chapters of American military history.
An Army inquiry ultimately determined that 347 civilians were killed that day — shot, bayoneted or blasted with grenades.
A Vietnamese memorial erected at the site has put the toll at 504.
But the mass killings were not exposed until November 1969, when the independent journalist Seymour Hersh, tipped off to the atrocity, wrote of it in a series of articles that brought him a Pulitzer Prize for international reporting.
