There is not a day that goes by that I do not feel remorse for what happened that day in My Lai. I feel remorse for the Vietnamese who were killed, for their families, for the American soldiers involved and their families. I am very sorry.
As of 2018, Calley was living in Gainesville, Florida. He died there on April 28, 2024, at the age of 80. His death was not reported until July 29, when it was uncovered in public records.

Yeah, hominy, that's what I thought.....quite a thinkg to give your son your own infamous name. Self important asshole.
And I like how he was a liar to the end, saying that he didn't serve in the US military. But in one sense I suppose he's right.....he didn't "serve" but instead just brought dishonor to the US military as well as giving a big boost to the anti war movement. And they did kick his ass out.
