The officers on our base were pretty

[samia95]

I don't even know the name of the place, just a little, little place. But anyway we got into some . . . we got ambushed and a few people got killed. Q: G.I's? A: A few G.I's got killed and a few people from the village, you know, accidentally got into the way of things, of the fire, then they got killed. A few women. And old men. And like there was a big squabble, you know, and like the next thing I know they told me, some cat told me, that we best go out and smoke, because we might have to be doing something. And, I don't know, I didn't understand quite what was happening. And like the next thing I know we got the word down from the sergeant that we had to, like there was about fifteen or twenty people I'd say, at the most. Q: In the village? A: Yeah, that were left. But there wasn't too many to begin with. Some were already evacuated. They weren't supposed to be there.

There were V.C. in the area


They'd been warned, I mean, they weren't supposed to be there.pissed off because some cats got killed that wouldn't have gotten killed, if they'd been warned by the people in the village. So, I don't know, next thing I know categories a sergeant he just said, "We're going to get them, we've got to finish all of them." And like, I don't know, I didn't really understand what he meant. I mean, I don't think he was right or anything. But I didn't, I don't know, I was pretty stoned. The next think I know it was a few people, there was about a platoon of us with them M-16s, and I don't know who started it off, somebody started firing, so I started firing, and . . . I think there was a couple. Maybe. They were pretty big. But like we were told to be hush up about it. We were told it was nothing would be said about it afterwards. And like, nobody even knew where we were at.




We didn't know the name of the place


We were at. Some of the cats cracked up afterwards. I even cracked up afterwards, like ... Q: What do you mean -- they cracked up? A: Mostly cats were stoned. Like, you know, as far as myself you know, I happened to look into somebody's eyes, a woman's eyes, and she .... I don't know, I looked, I mean, just before we started firing, I mean. You know, I didn't want to. I wanted to turn around and walk away. It was something telling me not to do it. Something told me not, you know, just turn around and not be part of it, but -- when everybody else started firing, I started firing, and then they came in, some other cats after we left, and they came in with bulldozers. Just destroyed the whole village.
