If Lt. Calley is guilty, then by the same token so is every homber-Orew who under orders bombs a town knowing that there will be women and children liv- ing there, and that they will surely be killed. The real criminals are the Viet Cong who encourage the women and children and eld people to commit sabotage. War- is a nasty business and inno- cent people suffer. It is my opinion that if the United States Government and Army Commanders do not back up their troops they are in for serious trouble. When the Viet- namese civilians were ordered to vacate My Lai for their own protection but refused to com- ply they certainly suffered ,for their lack of co-operation or was there some, treacherous motive for their continued presence? Since I , wrote this' article last week it is very encourag- ing to learn that' the United States -Government's __attitude _Anwar dS convicted Lieutenant Calley is 'changed and that now they are treating him with some regard.

Baker The opinions expressed in the following articles are those of the writer and not necessarily the opinions of the Legion. THE MY LAI TRAGEDY A monstrous injustice has been committed by the United States in that a soldier has been tried for murder just because he carried out the orders of his superiors. A few days before the Pinkville incident the young sol- dier had seen the mutilated bodies of his buddies who had been massacred by a number of Viet- namese posing, as innocent vil- lagers in an area where orders hall been issued for complete eificuation. In this same area a feW-days later every person seen waste be regarded as the enemy. Lieutenant Calley ,was ordered to take his platoon to My Lai and destroy the village and kill anything that moved. This he did, and no doubt with some measure of revenge in his heart for the people in My Lai or people like them had ,ambushed and killed his comrades. Only those who have experienced war ,can know- what happens to a soldier who has been trained to kill and who has seen what has happened to his comrades at the hands of people who. posed as harmless' civilians. •: ••• c. Admittedly, Lt. Colley made a grave error. 'I do not condone cold-blooded murder nor do I condone the action of the American Army in bringing this marf"to trial. If a court-martial was necessary, the General who was in command of the Division in which Lt. Calley served was the man .to be court-martialled. After all who insisted at Nurem- burg that the Generals and Gov- ernment leaders be tried for the war crimes rather than the rank and file that carried out the orders - none other than, the United States - and rightly so. Why now when it happens to the United States do they protect the General or Generals respbnsible 'for the orders ? It `iS.quite clear to see that the whole affair is a face-saving move to protect the United StateS from World o,pin- BOOkS STATIONEAY 'STORE The Friendly Store in Seaforth "the friendly town" Read the Advertisements It's a Profitable Pdatilie!

In, this way the High Command of the United States Army. may regain a small por- tion of the respect- that they have lost through the whole re- grettable affair. If the conviction stands, the United• States has scored a vic- tory for their real enemies; namely, all the subversive groups within the country. Foremost of such groups are some of the so-called Peace organizations who support the Communists and to which the word "Peace" is their passport to violence.
