On March 16, 1968, My Lai Massacre, Charlie Company, 11th Brigade, is on a "search and destroy" mission in the hamlet of My Lai. Something goes horribly wrong, resulting in violent death for hundreds of unarmed civilians, including women, children, and the elderly. After one and a half years, the officer at My Lai, Lt. William Calley, is brought up on murder charges. News of atrocities at My Lai doesn't reach public media until November 1969. In March 1971, Calley is convicted and sentenced to life; he is paroled in September 1975 after serving three and a half years.
Neither side was squeaky clean at the outcome of it all. One of the most famous incidents in this regard by the Americans was the My Lai massacre.
If you're referring to the US presence in Afghanistan as an "atrocity", I'd say there' no similarity at all between the two situations. If you mean a specific "atrocity", it'd help if you'd indicate which one.
It is only one more item to add to a list of shameful happening like My Lai, American slavery, Sand Creek, The Trail of Tears, the Civil War POW camps or the Black Kettle Massacre at the Washita.
