Seeking Michele Bachmann and William Calley
Michele BachmannMichele Bachmann, born on April 6th 1956, is the first Republican woman to represent Minnesota in the US House of Representatives Congress member. Her first dabble in U.S politics was in 2000, where she won the state senator seat for Minnesota’s District 56. In 2002, after the redistricting of Minnesota, she again won the senator seat for the newly drawn District 52. Having drawn blood and won in politics, Michele Bachmann then set her sights on a congressional seat and with the support of the GOP and then President George W. Bush, with over three million dollars in funds; she won over Democratic representative with an eight percent majority. In 2008, during the re-election for the House of Representatives seat, though she won, it was only with a three percent majority after Bachmann questioned President Barack Obama’s patriotism and the anti-American views of Congress.
Why Michele Bachmann is in the news now
As of late, Michele Bachmann’s surge of popularity has got the Democratic Party cautious of her, some sources even labeling Bachman the new “enemy number one” in the Democratic camp. Michele Bachmann has got television viewers glued to her as statistics have shown that Bachmann makes a news appearance every nine days. Her actions lately, while controversial and true to her hawkish nature as a GOP representative, has been head turning. Michele Bachmann has been against the Serve America Act, an expansion of the AmeriCorps, a community service organization run by the government, going as far as saying that the AmeriCorps way of volunteering is not volunteering at all, when there has already been half a million members of the successful organization thus far. There has even been talk of Bachmann running for presidency in the future, while it has not been made official, Michele Bachmann does not deny the future run of presidency reports, fueling the rumors that she could be one of the leading presidency candidates in the GOP camp. With her controversial views on the banning of same-sex marriages and constantly denouncing the Democratic party, one can only guess how Michele Bachmann’s political career will play out in the future.
William Calley
Second Lieutenant William Calley was born in 1943 in Florida. Nicknamed Rusty, he worked at various places in various positions before enlisting in the Army in 1966. After completing his basic training and followed by training as a clerk, he qualified to undergo Officer Candidate School after scoring high marks in the qualification test. Upon his graduation as an officer, he was assigned to 11th Infantry Brigade, 23rd Infantry Division, a unit to be deployed to Vietnam. It was in Vietnam that William Calley gained notoriety fame. Calley was the officer found guilty of ordering the My Lai massacre on March 16 1968 that killed over 500 Vietnamese villagers where he was guilty for the deaths of 104 of them. During the trial that followed the My Lai massacre, it was found that Calley ordered his men to kill everyone in the My Lai village. While William Calley told the jury he merely acted upon orders of superior, nobody else who was responsible for the massacre was convicted, only Calley, who was sentenced to life imprisonment before being granted house arrest by then president Richard Nixon.
Why William Calley is in the news now
At a Kiwanis Club gathering in Georgia, William Calley finally broke silence regarding the happenings at My Lai and apologized for his actions on that fated day, the first time he has spoken in public in over forty years. While Calley maintained that he was merely following orders on the day of the massacre, he states that he does not live a day without remorse for what happened at My Lai that day. After apologizing profusely to the families of the Vietnamese who were killed in the massacre along with the American soldiers who were involved at My Lai, William Calley also responded to questions from the public, his answers given felt genuine and Calley showed great remorse for his actions. The news was met with warmth welcome in Vietnam. Families of the victims that died at My Lai have forgiven Calley for his actions though some felt it had come too late.
