"Q: What happened then?
A: He [Lieutenant Calley] started shoving them off and shooting them in the ravine.
Q: How many times did he shoot?
A: I can't remember"
-Paul Meadlo (In the Lake of the Woods pg. 138)
"I came to a hootch and a lady jumped out. I shot and wounded her, and she jumped in again and then came out with a baby and some others . . . There was a man, a woman, and two girls . . . A guy from the Second Platoon came up and grabbed my rifle and said, "Kill them all!" He shot them."
-Roy Wood (In the Lake of the Woods pg. 198)
"Twenty years later, when you look back at things that happened, things that transpired, things your did, you say: Why? Why did I do that? That is not me. Something happened to me. "
-Fred Widmer (In the Lake of the Woods pg. 262)
"That day in My Lai, I was personally responsible for killing about 25 people. Personally. Men, women. From shooting them, to cutting their throats, scalping them, to . . . cutting off their hands and cutting out their tongues. I did it."
-Varnado Simpson, (In the Lake of the Woods pg. 257)
