MILITARY INTELLIGENCE

The Marine's tale: 'We killed 30 civilians in six weeks. I felt we were committing genocide'

'In a month and a half my platoon and I killed more than 30 civilians,' Mr Massey said. He saw bodies being desecrated and robbed, and wounded civilians being dumped by the roadside without medical treatment. After he told his commanding officer that he felt 'we were committing genocide', he was called a 'wimp'.
...
"A gunny from Lima Company came running and said to us: 'Hey, you just shot that guy, but he had his hands up.' My unit, my commander and me were relieved of our command for the rest of the day. Not more than five minutes later, the Lima Company took up our position and shot a car with one woman and two children. They all died."
