    I was a bombadier in WW 2. When you are up 30,000 feet
    you do not hear the screams or smell the blood or see
    those without limbs or eyes. It was not til I read
    Hersey's Hiroshima that I realized what bomber pilots do.

I was an infantry officer in the Army from 1969 to 1971. Men in my platoon who had served time in Vietnam told me many stories—but none more chilling than the one from two helicopter pilots. They told me how they would shoot the friendlies on their way back from reconnaissance missions just so they could empty their ammunition before returning to base. The friendlies were South Vietnamese women and children, helpless victims in a war they did not understand. But to the American pilots, they were simply dots on the ground.
