Answer 2

Answer:

Answer;

D) They were shocked at the event and dissatisfied with the investigation that followed.

Explanation;

My Lai was a small village that American soldiers destroyed in 1968 in arguably the most controversial event of the Vietnam War. The event gained worldwide attention for the killing of innocents.

American reaction to the My Lai Massacre was twofold, and it was similar to the other divisions that were created by the Vietnam War.The revelation of My Lai two years after the event shocked the American public. This was at a time when public opinion was turning markedly against the war.

However as the case went to court there was a change in public attitudes. The American public turned against the prosecution of ordinary American GI's who they saw as only obeying orders. Only one soldier William Calley was convicted and after 3 days in prison was given two years house arrest , before being released.
