The Courage of Major Hugh Thompson Jr. during the My Lai Massacre

On March 16, 1968, during the Vietnam War, U.S. Army helicopter pilot Hugh Thompson Jr. witnessed something unthinkable — American soldiers slaughtering unarmed civilians in the village of My Lai. What he did next would go down as one of the most courageous acts of moral bravery in U.S. military history. In this episode, we share the powerful story of how Major Thompson risked everything — his career, his reputation, even his life — to stop the massacre, confront those responsible, and save as many lives as he could. This isn’t a story about combat against the enemy. It’s about the strength to do what’s right when your own side has gone terribly wrong.
