かつてベトナムにMylaiと言う村があった。(Mylaiを通してファルージャ、ファルージャを通してMylaiを見る)
以下、LIFE 1970年1月19日号「the massacre at Mylai」
"Guys were about to shoot these people," Photographer Ron Haeberle remembers. "I yelled, 'Hold it,' and shot my picture. As I walked away, I heard M16s open up. From the corner of my eye I saw bodies falling, but I didn't turn to look."
Haeberle found the bodies above on a road leading from the village. "Most were women and babies. It looked as if they tried to get away."
"When these two boys were shot at," says Haeberle, "the older one fell on the little one, as if to protect him. Then the guys finished them off." "This man was old and trembling so that he could hardly walk. He looked like he wanted to cry. When I left him I heard two rifle shots."
Haeberle remembers that the body in front of a burning house (above) kept twitching and that one GI commented, "He's got ghosts in him."
Intent on destroying everything that might be of use to the Vietcong, a soldier (below) stokes a fire with the baskets used to dry rice and roots.
"This man and two little boys popped up from nowhere," says Haeberle. "The Gls I was with opened up, then moved in close to finish them."
