Vietnam -- a war and a country with which America has never come to terms.
On Nov. 12, 1969, it all came to light: The story broke through the Dispatch News Service and was picked up by dozens of newspapers. "The day before the assault on My Lai, the company commander got the whole unit together," Hodges said."They said that we could expect heavy resistance going in. Heavy resistance meant that the enemy is there and they are ready for a fight. … Orders were to kill or destroy everything in the village."
"They stood at this ditch and used machine guns to shoot the villagers dead and push them into the ditch," Haeberle said. Along with Harris' efforts, which had widespread impact as the courts filled with draft resisters, other groups had begun organizing anti-war efforts, including David Mixner, who helped found the Vietnam Moratorium Committee.On Oct.15, 1969, more than 2 million Americans participated in a nationwide"Moratorium" -- an anti-war effort"to show Americans that the anti-war movement [was] mainstream.

Moby Provides Long-Range, Blurry Photo Taken Through Window To Prove He Currently Dating Natalie PortmanLOS ANGELES—In response to the actress’s denial that the two had ever been romantically involved, musician Moby posted a long-range, blurry photo taken through a window to his Instagram page Thursday as proof that he is currently dating Natalie Portman. “Many people have taken umbrage with the characterization of the relationship we shared in the ’90s, so here is a picture of Natalie taken last night at her hotel,” said Moby, who provided the fuzzy image as well as a publicity shot of Portman with a Getty image watermark as corroborating evidence that the pair had been happily together since 1999. “Natalie and I have been in love for 20 years, so it saddens me to hear people, including Natalie, say otherwise. But if we aren’t dating, then why am I always on the phone with her lawyers? Plus, if Natalie Portman and I weren’t soulmates, then why would I have all her trash?” At press time, Moby was refuting claims that the photo of the severed finger he had posted to his Instagram was taken without Portman’s consent.
