Are you telling me that there was NEVER a massacre by Australians of Aborigines? Never a massacre by British of Indians (in India, not the Old American West). The Germans never massacred anyone? The Italians? The Russians? The Japanese? The fucking Vatican Army? Guess what, it has happened more times that history can record. My Lai was just one of the first instances where the press was able to document it and put it on the news back home.
Learn your history and grow up.
If not for American GI's most of the world would be either goosestepping to German commands, eating rice and talking Japanese, or drinking Stoli and speaking Russian while reading the daily edition of Pravda.

1. Murdering children is human nature is it?
2. The USA DID NOT WIN WWII. You lost under 300,000 soldiers. The Russians lost 13.5 million fighting the Germans. It was the Russians who marched into Berlin.
3. Many other nations, including Australia (which was bombed by the Japanese) fought in the Pacific, so again stop acting like you did it all on your own. We defended OUR country. YOU didn't save us.
4. I never said it was the only massacre ever to have occurred, but it was perpetrated by the armed forces of a nation who claim constantly that they are fighting for freedom and all that's right and good.
5. Learn your history.
