The My Lai Massacre: A Crime of Obedience? (from Crimes of Obedience: Toward a Social Psychology of Authority and Responsibility) HERBERT
-While the killing, destruction, and rape seemed disorganized and spontaneous, Kelman and Hamilton attribute much of the My Lai massacre to:

A) the leadership of one man, Lt. William Calley
B) the killers' desire to cover up what they had done, leaving no witnesses to the crime
C) the psychological training the killers had received, encouraging trainees to block out their emotions and feelings of responsibility when confronting enemy soldiers
D) the killers' belief that they would themselves die if they did not execute the people in their custody
