Fragged
On March 15 at Bien Hoa Army Base near Saigon, two officers were killed and a third wounded when someone rolled a grenade into their quarters. Charged with premeditated murder is Pvt. Billy C. Smith, 22. of Watts, California.
It's interesting to note the differences between Lt. Calley and Billy. Calley is the convicted murderer of at least 22 Vietnamese but is only on restriction and may well be pardoned by old Dicky.
Billy on the other hand is only suspected of murder, but you can bet he is in solitary confinement in some stockade. And considering that he is a black enlisted man accused of killing two white officers, you can guess how fair a triaal he'll get. Let's hear it for American justice, right on right on right on!
