The incident on Hill 192 is the name the United States Army called[1] the kidnapping, gang rape, and murder of a Vietnamese woman[2] in November 1966[1] by American soldiers during the Vietnam War[2].
The story was made public by Daniel Lang when he wrote an article about it for The New Yorker in 1969[3] and later a book[4]. In 1989 Brian De Palma directed a film, Casualties of War, based on the events.[2]
One of the soldiers was acquitted on appeal after it was determined that his Fifth Amendment rights were violated, and his confessions were ruled inadmissible. His brother's sentence was shortened to 22 months. The corporal and sergeant's sentences were reduced to eight years, with the possibility of parole after 4 years.[5][6]
