50 years ago today, August 03, in sunny Vietnam-land - Where were you?

CBS-TV news shows pictures of men from the First Battalion, Ninth Marines setting fire to huts in the village of Cam Na, six miles west of Da Nang, despite reports that the Viet Cong had already fled the area.
A Marine was shown on television lighting an old woman's house while she pleaded for him to stop.
The film report sparked indignation and condemnation of the U.S. policy in Vietnam both at home and overseas.
Earlier, seven Marines had been killed nearby while searching for Viet Cong following a mortar attack against the air base at Da Nang.

At the same time, the Department of Defense announced that it was increasing the monthly draft call from 17,000 in August to 27,400 in September and 36,000 in October.
It also announced that the Navy would require 4,600 draftees, the first such action since 1956.
