Ashes of the Wake

"We killed a lot of innocent civilians.
To us every civilian in Baghdad was a terrorist.
These Fedayeen are now in civilian clothes that makes everybody free game,
But if they came in our perimeter, we lit 'em up.
And when we would pull the body out, and when we would search the car, we would find nothing.
This took place time and time again. No harm, no foul, that's OK, don't worry about it,
Because this is a new type of war, this is an eradication."

"I honestly feel we're committing genocide over here,
I don't believe in killing civilians, and I'm not going to kill civilians for the United States Marine Corp."

“我们杀死了许多无辜的平民百姓。
“对我们来说，每一名巴格达的百姓都是恐怖分子。
“这些游击队队员现在都穿上百姓的衣服，不按牌理出牌。
“但是如果他们进入了我们的周界，我们会把他们收拾干净。
“然后我们把尸体拉出来，然后搜查车辆，但是什么也没找到。
“周而复始，花去了很多时间。没伤者，没腐尸，那就万事大吉了，也就用不着担心了。
“因为这是一种新式战争。这就是‘连根拔除’。”

“我由衷地感觉到，我们正在这里实行种族屠杀。
“屠杀平民，我不信，我也不会为美国海军陆战队去屠杀平民。”
