I’d like to think it’s in better shape now. I’d really like to think that maybe we can learn something. And so, I’d like to think that, you know, just to take what I learned from Vietnam and put it into the modern context, we have been fighting the war on terror since 9/11, you know, 13, 14 years now, breaking news game (click through the next website) with drones and soldiers, and it’s only gotten worse. I’d seen it in my mind, and I saw it visually that day I was there. Ultimately, the ideas below can give you more free time on the wedding day. Discover why so many of our struggles are down to poor time management and denial of its finitude. Meadlo was actually playing with the children he would then gun down? And that morning, Calley ordered Meadlo and others to collect a group of women and children. They had 40 or 50, perhaps more, some old men, mostly women and kids.

They were horsing around with the kids, playing with the kids. And so they did what kids, American guys, will do: They passed out candy. I think the Army came out of this war in terrible shape. Think about the last story you shared on social media, or in a group chat with friends. And maybe we ought to think that there’s other ways to conduct ourselves when we have opposition like we do in this case of religious opposition and opposition to our way of life and our notion of democracy. We didn’t have any respect for the culture. We fought a war in a society where we didn’t understand the culture. We didn’t know the language. He didn’t want to do it, and Calley ordered him to. And Paul and the other guys, Calley said to watch them. And Calley came back and said, you know, in effect, "What are you doing? AMY GOODMAN: Seymour Hersh, I wanted to go back to Paul Meadlo.

He testified about Meadlo beginning to cry. And I found other witnesses who testified at Army hearings. And they fired clips-I don’t know how many clips; he told me at one point five or six; he testified later about one, but he told me four, maybe five, clips-a clip in that rifle, an M1, has 17 bullets-into it, into the ditch. One solution is to use a phone service capable of running a conference call and then tap into the phone line to connect to the recording device. Instead what we seem to be doing is spreading into the use of drones, so we have not even any direct responsibility, no soldiers engaging, no chance for a-you don’t have a Meadlo anymore, but you also don’t have any chance for collective guilt and collective understanding of what we do. And then Meadlo began following orders. Lay a 4x8 foot (1.22 to 2.44 meter) sheet of plywood on the ground with the shorter ends on either side, then measure 3.5 (8.89 centimeters) inches up from the bottom right corner. At some point, when they were done shooting, some mother had protected a baby underneath her body in the bottom of the ditch.

And right across what was-it’s now been plowed over, but it was a rice ditch. I don’t know. Many bad things still happen in the wars we’re in now in Afghanistan. It’s now been paved over at the site. It’s hard for me to talk about this. If you could talk about what happened on March 16, 1968, between Lieutenant Calley, the other soldiers, and particularly Meadlo, as you describe so poignantly in the piece, standing at that ditch? As you know, I wrote about Abu Ghraib for The New Yorker a decade ago, and what happened there was very eerily similar-you know, the contempt for prisoners, the contempt for people whose societies we don’t understand. Naturally, a New York street kid wasn’t going to shoot, but he watched what happened. That's what I'm going to tell myself, anyway. But this history is pretty acute, because it does tell us about the present.
