"We didn't get into aggressive kinds of torture. But we drew this one NVA. Silverman had gotten him. We knew he was dying. He was writhing in agony. It ws a belly wound, and it was pretty bad. We could have gone out there to finish him off, that might have been the humanitarian thing to do. You knew he wasn't going to live, maybe another few minutes. It would have been better just to put his lights out. We didn't do it. We took turns posing over him with a bayonet aimed at him - shit like that. We didn't poke him or anything else. Just posed and snapped pictures. Each person had a different kind of picture because he was rolling from side to side. It must have taken him about twenty minutes to die. In retrospect I'm ashamed of it. I'm glad I don't have any more pictures. I'm a lot more ashamed about it now than I was then. I guess we did it just to prove we were real tough motherfckers. We won and he lost. The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat. Nam: The Vietnam War in the Words of the Soldiers Who Fought There* by Mark Baker paperback, p. 178
