Does anyone else remember the comic 'Legion of Charlies'? It was published
in the early 1970s. The first few pages depicted side-by-side the attack
by Lt. Calley's platoon on the villagers at My Lai and the Manson family's
attack on the Polanski/Tate residence. In the end, Calley was awarded a
medal and Manson was given the chair (still the expected outcome at that
time, I'm guessing).
Is this just deja vu all over again in Littleton, Colorado?
I remember from that time too a study that compared violence used as a
tool of foreign policy and the rise in violence domestically. Does anyone
know of that study, or subsequent ones?
