seymour hersh 1968 published inital report, published my lai 4 1969, and the book cover up, in 1972

from far left to centre, because government moved?

His 1972 "Cover-Up," a report on the Army's cowardly investigation of the My Lai massacre -- the bloodbath Hersh had previously exposed in his blockbuster "My Lai 4" -- also sold poorly. When he revealed in 1991's "The Samson Option" that Israel was secretly stockpiling nuclear weapons, the response was yawns.

notes from ATROCITIES ‘R’ U.S.? by William Ausbaugh published by The American History Review 12/03,

Some of its soldiers vied to become “double veterans,”
disgusting slang that meant one had raped and then killed the victim
afterward. Others shot anyone that moved, killing countless women, chil-
dren, and elderly men. But it was Lt. Calley who became the most notorious
for his methodical, systematic, and large-scale murders. Calley, under orders
from Captain Medina to move through the village quickly, was slowed by the
large collection of civilian prisoners that members of his platoon had left alive
and now guarded. Calley hastily chose to murder the prisoners, either
properly interpreting Medina’s instructions or misunderstanding his original
orders

Army photographer Sergeant Ronald L. Haeberle did not behave so
heroically, although he too proved important for bringing light to My Lai. He
came into My Lai with the Third Platoon and a fellow reporter. The two
journalists witnessed some civilians being killed, but usually shooting oc-
curred when they turned away. With his army-issued camera, Haeberle took
black-and-white pictures of the village, although nothing that would show
anything more than a normal and successful search-and-destroy mission. Yet
with his personal camera loaded with color slide film, Haeberle photo-
graphed bodies of women and children blown apart by grenades and point-
blank rifle fire. These slides later became final proof that a massacre had
occurred. They allowed Army investigators to move beyond their disbelief to
begin proceedings against the soldiers and officers responsible. Starting in
December 1969, the American public would see these horrifying pictures in
morning newspapers. Yet Haeberle never reported the massacre to his
superiors or army newspaper readers; instead after his discharge he used the
slides to show church groups and community organizations the horrors of the
Vietnam War.

which church and community orgs?
why didnt he talk to the pentagon

Calleys supervisor was gotten off the hook by F Lee Bailey !!

David L. Anderson, ed., Facing My Lai: Moving Beyond the
Massacre (1998); Michael Bilton and Kevin Sim, Four Hours in My Lai (1992);
Richard Hammer, The Court-Martial of Lt. Calley (1971); and John Sack,
Lieutenant Calley: His Own Story (1970)

Hawks argued that Calley was only doing his duty, and war is hell—
civilians beware. Doves claimed that Calley was serving as a scapegoat for the
higher ranking officers involved in the My Lai operation as well as the chain
of command generally.

dont have to make the parrells here, do i?
