15. Speaking of My Lai,

I've only read two of Scott Peck's non fiction books - "The Road Less Traveled" and "People of the Lie," so it must be in one of them, and my guess is "People of the Lie."

When My Lai happened, he was working for DoD and living in base housing At that time, when they news came out, ir was as if a dark cloud had just descended over the entire neighborhood. An entire neighborhood with instant PTSD, if you will.

I know there are a lot of veterans who our MAGA - Those of us with heads and heart will tell you they have broken their oath (some of us will say they "dishonored" their oath.) Those of us with heads and hearts who were serving at the time were and are just as sickened as you are. Most of us are allied with VoteVets, even if we can't afford to donate money.
