Thought I would post this here rather than GD

Colburn was the last surviving member of a U.S. Army crew that ended the My Lai massacre of March 16, 1968. According to accounts, pilot Hugh Thompson landed the helicopter between unarmed villagers and American troops and ordered Colburn and crew chief Glenn Andreotta to cover him.

Longstreet: I guess my only cause is victory. This war comes as a nightmare. You pick your nightmare side. Then you put your head down and win.
