I Was Told To Shoot Them Soldier Claims
A 21 year old U S Marine testified at his court martial that he did not intend to shoot all five Vietnamese women and 11 children during a Feb. 19 patrol near Da Nang. Pvt Michael A Schwarz said the patrol leader ordered to shoot them all, but he fired only near the wounded woman and later fired toward lights he believed were muzzle flashes. He claimed he disobeyed one order to kill a crying baby and ruling that the rest of the shooting was lawful. The defense rested after his testimony.
