Calley wasn't the only one got a can tied to his tail - a general was
reduced in rank and had his career ignominiously ended - Gen. Sam Coster. The
ONLY reason he didn't get hit harder was that he wasn't there, and did no
shooting and it could not be shown that he directed that the specific action
be taken. He got jacked up because it happened on his watch.
BOTH sides had their atrocities.
