I don’t have a relevant life story that can transition us into the introduction of the facts of this case. The bald truth is that I’m sharing this case because I fear that history may repeat itself. While the Army learned valuable lesson–like the need for operational lawyers to advise commands–from the My Lai massacre, it did so reluctantly, slowly, and without public support.
I referenced an opinion from the CMA, as well as information from CharlieCompany.org, War History Online, NPR, the Guardian, International Crimes Database, Pulitzer, the University of Virginia, Britannica, Army History, and PBS.

I research, write, and produce the podcast myself… the opinions expressed are my own and, perhaps it’s obvious, Conduct Unbecoming is not approved, endorsed, or authorized by the Department of Defense or whatever name they go by socially now. I am not a military JAG and have never been a military JAG. While I’m a practicing attorney, I don’t do direct criminal defense. This podcast is a passion project, not legal advice or expert opinion.
