we went into an area near the baghdad stadium this key came into our area and actually stopped about seventy five meters in front of my vehicle that tells you how far the vehicle came into our perimeter. and. we just we lit it up. we had three of the. victims in the right key that there were expiring rapidly we pulled them out of the car and we started doing it for a state i called it corpsman the corpsman came and got the three bodies and took them back to to tally and surgeon. corpsman came back dump the bodies on the side of the road and i went over to the corpsman i asked him i said what were you doing how can you bring him back and need to get him out of

you need to get him back to an area where they can see a surgeon corpsman there's nothing we can do for him so. you can leave you know you can leave the bodies on the side of the road and i said yeah we want to do staff. so i wanted a compatible up so they dumped him on the side of the road and. they were and the guys brother he came running over to him and he just said they're holding them while they roll around on the on the asphalt. highway. and rolling around in pain they didn't even give many morphine. and the

guy's brother. they kept running around and he had his hands and it was in his and his face. he was crying and sobbing and he's saying why did you kill my brother . we didn't do anything to you we're not terrorists. remember i remember i just want to wanted to close my ears i didn't want to hear and i just sat there and he's time that he said. it was like it was permanently being. burned into my brain. and. i lost

and that's the last night of ever gotten a good night's sleep the night before that happened. and then on the. next morning lieutenant you walked up to me and he said sasser. are you all right and you seem a little distressed a little agitated. no sir not all right. and. so i'm pretty pissed off what we're what we're doing over here. and he said well give me your interpretation of what we're doing over here. and. what we're trying to accomplish over here. i just looked at him a sitting there well so long as if you know that we're committing genocide.

and he didn't like my answer and he stormed off towards the. ceo's vehicle. i knew at that point that my career was done i crossed the line and i knew i had to watch my back and grow was so after that night i pretty much slept with my no i millimeter underneath my poncho liner within easy reach. me in the dark the door days. when i first came back from vietnam and i turned sixty six i saw protesters speaking. about i want to hear it i did believe it to get away from

it i put in a ten forty nine to go back to vietnam because i was what let's arm we'll. and i don't think it would have taken much for me to take one of the protesters out i failed had i stayed here i would have ended up killing some people and i could do it legally in vietnam so i put in a ten forty nine to go back and i think i would look and i just for keisha doing what i would do one of killing. it was only there on my second tour when i began to realize that something was wrong. when i came back to the states i want to washington d.c. to the white house or a car because i'm an aide to mexico just say that i would not go back and vietnam.

when i arrived back stateside i was ordered to report into the middle health clinic in twenty nine palms the. psychologist looked at me and she said why don't you a conscientious objectors and. just about lost it. for them to label me as a conscientious objector that's the ultimate slap in the face you call your conscience subject i just killed thirty plus individuals for you and you called me a conscience connector. stood up and us. ma'am if you want to label me as a conscientious objector for not wanting to kill innocent civilians then i'll see you court. i went down a hard attorney. a man by the name of mr gary myers. and.

mr mars was represented during the may lie trials. and. mr myers in the marine corps came to a very discreet mutual understanding i was on it with this charge december thirty first of two thousand and three and here i am. so i came back i think that that sense of a long term planning was gone i went through a divorce some things i did recklessly probably in the back of my mind i would not have minded knowing. but. i went through a period when t.c.p.

could hang for on. and about it and thought it means. a long period of severe drug abuse. i finally got to the point of rock had no one. i had no work or i had long since moved out of my house and could not come back home exactly where do you go from here. and it was when the national guard needed someone with my. experience and teaching people how to fly the armed helicopters the cobras and i was asked to come in and help train some of those folks and the money was. you know fifteen twenty thousand dollars a year for part time work and i carried

a retirement with even though i had and a change of heart about wars i needed the money the first come home and you meet all the forget about everything. and you go to mcdonald's you go to all your favorite restaurants and you do all your favorite things and you're having a great time and you know and then all of a sudden you wake up one day and you're like when i'm not having a good time anymore. i'm starting to think about this i'm starting to think about that because all the newness has worn off your home a lot i got my arm i got my legs i'm alive. within the mind. the mind starts catching up. with everything else. i find myself going through my career prepping like i'm getting ready to go to combat i mean i even look for suicide bombers

you know anything out of the anything out of the ordinary. once you reach that level of your senses being that heightened it's hard to turn it off it's like being in a cage tiger. and soon after. i got back in december of forty four there is nobody you can talk to you know there was nobody who had been in combat around. i can remember seeing that glow red glow on the tip of the christ and my god i was home. one day you're killing somebody they're trying to kill you and the next day you're sitting in

a bar in new york city it's it's crazy. i don't nobody you know it's your hand at work nobody you know we should go to you got a headache or you're going to holding your head you can't see. when i wrote home that i was wounded i had been in france from middle of august to. dad said to the newspaper reporter who interviewed him he was only there for a few years that was for me the only was a at that time not now was a real rejection of who i was as a man he didn't he didn't make it he got hit. and i think i didn't even understand it then but that started

a decline in our relationship which spiraled downward and downward downward. and so you don't talk about it because you sit on it. and say i was lucky why didn't i care why don't i both somebody you know guys do that or why did no for me why didn't i do this i was tried i don't a school and. i remember he living in the wide new york city totally alone i don't just to put my bathroom sash around on it. and why i got down was because. my friends. i had made after the war who had been through the same thing i had and i felt if i

get that kill myself i would betray. the bottom e. . coochie vietnam federer for taint night in sixty six by eight feet they call it hell's halfacre because of the american people. that have been still there tano do and be a crime snipers have done most of the damage today was no exception on this attack in twenty seven unfortunately the frames were found some moved out there were attacked the snipers over not from such perfectly camouflaged possessions

but most of the a copy not the whole day with c. and none of them a sergeant was hit in the shoulder in the leg as he rolled over a third shot were up to his back. a medic broke from cough and rushed to his side as he dropped to his knees to began given a bullet smashed into the stomach. of the sergeant in the medic that i had a killer book well it was laid out to screen a squad going after the world that the specialist for what i wanted and the help cross the deadly fifty yards with other phyla ts he was hit again this was no you're there yes

it's hard. i'm going back to one of them well down all the national. press but certainly we're building up people until right now so i think about my grandson. they were probably where if they had to draft they would be traffic tickets so i start thinking of what i could do to protect them to keep them from rolling. join the military but the same reasons if the young people join now because it is the poor people out of people on the lower end of the economic scale i don't want to fight these wars. even though rob i'm i've no merit came out years later and say if vietnam was

a mistake it did not take the pain from me nor did it take the guilt that i ferry for killing people when i went to vietnam i was a car courts rule and i believed what i was going over once the right thing and i was a good soldier but now i want soldier on the other side and i think i'm just as good . i sold my soul a long time and i'm just here trying to go. to europe or our. people as we want you free to go to prison i mean so you're saying you're war criminal. brother i'm already in prison this is veterans for peace chapter zero nine nine western north carolina all seem at this

moment registered in everyone's mind that this is one of the total cost of war. succeeds festooned who is a great war political war one wrote a line war was a scene to stop the clocks though we met him grim and gay and i know people who got their clocks stopped so badly they never got beyond drugs booze women suicide with every want to convert and that happened to me and i think my clock was stopped for close to forty years before i got over the last

i was ashamed i was ashamed that i had been wounded i was ashamed that i hadn't been a hero i never understood that my problems with my parents my problems with my wife my ex-wife were buried in the fact that i got brought up i never i never understood it repressed and totally and then . again to go to a coffee shop and i would hear the big bands of the night hundred forty five and i would weep like a baby in public i had no idea that what i was doing like a reply to her was going back and try to find that the little boy of my teeth and what happened. the fall of eighty four i was driven to go back to fly to look for

a burger to spend a night or to rent a car and file and find the place where i was wounded on september seventh one thousand forty four. and then suddenly. i found a bridge with a real cross that had been blown i had been shot. i discovered to the hour at the moment where i had been moved forty years before and i cannot explain it but that discovery began my feeling. my generation really were oppressed with the war was about we didn't want to talk about it we weren't allowed to talk about it and then slowly in the one nine hundred eighty s. and one nine hundred ninety s. this whole thing of the greatest generation occurred it was wonderful you know the greatest generation what a nice thing to call it and we forgot what we had done we forgot that we had been

animals for a wow war is about one thing it's about killing you either learn to kill somebody else or you get killed or wounded yourself and that's why of the country so low the idea of war doesn't that all of horrible. nama soften its cost and what may i think of it everyday. flashbacks from the to memorise still go to counseling for and. it's is now worth it but what i did do was managed to find some good in that war. thing vietnam a me a better person and made meanwhile people more. made me understand that we are all one one people throughout this earth

has a certain amount of guilt i think you learn to live with compartmentalize it or unite you rationalize you seem like all the excuses i mean i really don't have to make excuses even. if there are things i wish i had not done. but there's no way to change. the. last. laugh. when you come to the point that you will show you are actually much more is not the way to settle. a disagreement. on kind of like

a place for you to do a war and i. loathe luxury. with obama.

so. the thing that. was.

the most. if.

you put it.

all. oh. it was created to serve public interests to inform and to entertain. these days there's nothing easier than opening up a new media outlets but there is nothing harder than revoking its license in case of corruption. in san antonio in trouble. you can involved.
