The thesis 'The Road to My Lai' by George F. Shaw examines the disintegration of the U.S. military during the Vietnam War, focusing on how the fixed-length tour of duty (DEROS) led to a loss of experienced personnel and a breakdown in unit cohesion, morale, and discipline. It argues that this internal turbulence contributed to systemic issues such as drug abuse, fragging, and atrocities against civilians, exemplified by the My Lai massacre. The document highlights the transformation of soldiers from citizens to combatants within a total institution framework, ultimately revealing how these dynamics resulted in a crisis of legitimacy and effectiveness within U.S. forces.
