at a court-martial. Calley was the only one convicted. My uncle was there (later died from a mortar). His letters home to my grandmother strongly suggested that Lt. Calley was railroaded and did not deserve most, if not all, of the accusations or treatment he received.

His initial conviction faced widespread public opposition both due to the campaign circumstances of civilian embedded Viet Cong, and due to Calley being singled out as the sole officer convicted with respect to the massacre (per Wiki).
