Are you married? Yes. Children? Two. How old? The boy is two and a half, the girl is one and a half. Then the question arises, how can a father of two small children shoot babies? No idea. It just happens. How many people were shot that day? I estimate around 370. This is how Paul Meadlo described the My Lai massacre in an interview broadcast by CBS in 1969.
