We had extensive conversations about My Lai last week on the program. Jarvis Lynch, MajGen USMC (ret) — an operations officer in Vietnam in 1969 in Vietnam joined us to discuss what it was like to lead in Vietnam given the social unrest of the time in our natio.
Jarvis has very interesting things to say about drugs, rape and weak leadership during the Vietnam War and in any war. We discuss drugs, rape and leadership at My Lai.
