Скачать или смотреть Why Soldiers Must Refuse Illegal Orders | The My Lai Massacre Explained

This video tells a story every American should know — and never forget.

Tom Powell Jr. revisits the My Lai Massacre of March 16, 1968, when U.S. soldiers murdered 504 unarmed Vietnamese civilians, including 182 children, after being given unlawful orders. The video explains how blind obedience, fear, and authority combined to produce one of the darkest chapters in U.S. military history.

Tom highlights the actions of those who refused to comply — including helicopter pilot Hugh Thompson and his crew, who placed themselves between U.S. troops and civilians to stop the killing, and soldiers who chose disobedience rather than murder. Their courage stands in stark contrast to the devastation caused by following illegal commands.

The lesson is clear: lawful orders matter. Soldiers are not only allowed to refuse illegal orders — they are morally and legally obligated to do so. When they don’t, innocent people die.

This video isn’t about politics. It’s about accountability, humanity, and why obedience without conscience is dangerous.
