The road to My Lai enters its final stretch as the Tet Offensive leaves the American military desperate for a win and willing to count any Vietnamese body as Viet Cong. Along the way, the boys get into Project 100,000, Task Force Barker, “Mad Dog” Medina, and the dangerously incompetent Lieutenant William Calley before Charlie Company prepares to march into My Lai.
