But the main reason you don't hear about him? Because no one cares. If he could sell newspapers there would be no let up in stories about him, but his case is one most people just want to forget. No interests, no ratings, no stories.

I read Calley's book. Towards the end wonders why it is OK to Call Artillery in on a Village or Bomb a Village indiscriminately killing a maiming who ever is in it?
This is part of the reason Combat Vets have a tough time when they get Home. What is normal and important in War is not normal when you are back Home in your Father-in-laws Jewelry Shop.
