Four Hours in My Lai 4/7 

Hugh Thompson Jr was a remarkable man with a rare quality - moral courage and colossal compassion for his fellow human beings. He was beautiful inside out. RIP Mr Thompson, the unforgettable hero of My Lai.

Thompson and his crew were and are heroic men. They saved the lives of hundreds more. This was a horrific war crime, one of the worst.

Hugh Thompson is a hero

That Warrant Officer and helo crew were the only real soldiers that day. Thank god for them.

Rest In Peace Hugh Thompson, Lawrence Colburn and Glenn Andreotta

Thank you Major Hugh Thompson!

Thank you for publishing this.

God bless Hugh wish there was more Americans like him

RIP Hero Thompson. May your story and courage shun those who continue to harm vulnerable souls.

Officer Thompson, Hero. Courage.

Officer Thompson, great hero who managed to save even a few people. Who had the sense to tell what was right and wrong.

He is not a hero, he is a true human being, as we should all be. This should be normality. Society must clarify that notion.

America at its worst, but also America at its best. Thank you High Thompson.

Hugh Thompson and his crew are the only soldiers who can honestly be thanked for their service.

It takes courage and integrity for Hugh to do what he did. Im proud of him! God bless him and his gunner!

True heroism requires moral fortitude. It’s not enough to simply follow orders. One has to be able to discern right from wrong for oneself, and make decisions on that basis for oneself, even when that means contradicting authority or putting oneself at risk. Failure to do so makes you less than a man. People like Thompson are rare. They shouldn’t be.

Thank you for sharing. What is your source? Did you import from VHS?

Officer Thompson this is the guy that will have common sense he will keep reason driving

8:20 "still Hurts to think about us doing stuff like that"

I respect this man and how kind heart he has. He is an angel sent from God. RIP Hugh Thompson!❤

Thompson was punished and charged when it happened. - and it was many many years later he was decorated.

And still we don't learn from history but I salute you sir RIP HERO

God Bless YOU Thompson..

God bless him 💙

It helps watching this ,knowing some people could stand up and be counted a true hero and leader officer Thomson

Hero, and a gentleman...

@2:20. What an incredible courage, in-spite of knowing the power of military cover ups they stand by the truth.

6:00 thought about how they got in the ditch. Then thought about Nazis. And thought about how we were supposed to be the good guys..."

God Bless you, Sir!

May their soul Rest In Peace Mr. Thompson, Mr. Colburn, and Mr. Andreotta. True American heroes.

That's some kind of mindset to just slaughter unarmed women, elderly, and children. Shameful.

4:50 they were herded to here to be shot by lieutenant Kelly

Where is part 6?

So uncalled for

you have my utmost respect, you are a true american hero.

+many phone hong van thong, you are simply disgusting. you said it yourself "through history" the past is the past we can either learn from it or continue this rampage which occurred more than a century ago. Captain Ernest Medina who should've been held equally responsible for the events of My Lai like Calley was Mexican and only faced charges against his name, not a life sentence or house arrest. it is not only "whites"and neither is it only "mexicans" many people failed to be held accountable for their actions that day. Hugh Thompson has all the right to be considered an Honorable hero. him and his crew. Not once did he kill an unarmed civilian and even turned against his own platoon. He landed his helicopter between c company and the civilians running to safety and threatened to open fire on anyone who attacked the unarmed civilians. He helped many escape not even thinking twice about the trouble he will get himself into in opposing his own platoon. he is the reason the Massacre stopped, immediately reporting back to higher head quarters about the massacre taking place and had them demand a cease fire saving more civilians. Without Hugh Thompson more lives would've been lost that dreadful day . He is a Hero who deserves recognition although he refuses to see himself as a heroic figure because to him...it was simply human nature. Your lack of knowledge and judgments disturbs me. You are simply complaining about hero's of the event and yet I haven't heard of your name doing something in recognition of those lives lost that day like Hugh.T. Maybe focus on honoring the lives lost that day instead of discriminating an entire race based upon the actions of their earlier generations. Rest in Peace to the victims and hero's of the My Lai Massacre. Never forgotten x

God bless Hugh Thompson and his crew, they were the only true American soldiers there ! I only wish there were people like them on the ground. I was 16 when it happened and to this day I can't believe that no one was severely punished for their War crimes

3:00 "they were the enemy at that time"

It almost made hugh cry to talk about it):

Sad

The guy at 6:37 was saying what I was thinking. This is literally almost like the nazi and the Jewish people.

Teach a man to kill and then question his way of killing when it's done. That is a true coward...

The men who committed those crimes were monsters, but the tragedy is that they were turned into monsters by the military and by their government. What they did can be explained, perhaps even forgiven by some, but never excused.

For the idiots referring to the Americans as "white people" I want to take a second to point out that not every white person has done this or anything like it and if that's what you think you really need to be educated on the subject because for a start there were many black officers who did both good and bad as well as white, you can't make a sweeping judgement. There people, with the exception of Major Hugh Thompson and his helpers, were definitely wrong but that doesn't mean all white people are. This massacre wasn't about white and black, it was a terrible mistake with horrific consequences and those who look part should be punished.

My snappy salute to you sir, may the GOD help you.

Chief Thompson is a hero, yes. The question is which of the Soldiers are murderers? Are they all? Is the Platoon Leader the only murderer?

Fucking hero. THIS person is a hero

Unlike the coward calli

🙏🙏🙏🎖🎖🎖👏👏 hero

8:48 - And STILL it goes on! Ukraine, 2022?... "When will they EVER learn, when will 'THEY' EVER learn?"

Home of the brave and of the weak.

Hero

War is war you can not judge skin colors or religions becasue every nation once in a while has been involved in some sort of war or attrocity. Secondly if you where never in a war you can not judge, blame or hate or even take a side only unless you have lost yourself things and people of importance. The sad truth is that Humans are animals and we too have instincts that are only opened in certain situations, this is why we are the most unpredicitble thing out there.

The candy part is what happened in bosnia that piece of shit leader killed many Muslim men and boys. Piece of shits bruh.

I'm a vet and I've read about the sympathetic helicopter pilot and his crew. WO Thomson was a real soldier. He wasn't some brainwashed hater of the innocent Vietnamese civilians. However, considering the bloody characteristics of the Vietnam war who am I to judge the attitudes of the frontline grunts ?? The VC were no saints. They also slaughtered their own if the case called for it. They were a bunch of brainwashed killers too. It was a dog eat dog war full of cheap politics, corruption, and fanatical nationalist communist "defenders " of their country. Westmoreland and Co. sucked , but Mcnamara and Co. were worse. I have no faith in Uncle Ho and his trained killers. Their job was to kill me, so I can t be liberal and say that the VC and Co. were OK people. Today, I read on line about pleasure trips to Vietnam including bar girlies from all countries. It's proof the the GOLDEN TRIANGLE drug dealers/ organized crime pimps of THE DEERHUNTER fame are all alive and well. The Viet mob is the only winner in a bloody senseless war.

I guarantee this village was a hotbed of terrorism responsible for American deaths. My eighteen year old cousin stepped on a land mine planted by "innocent" villagers just such as these.
