Mom, I had to kill a woman and a baby. . . . . . .I shot her and my rifle is automatic so before I knew it I had shot about six rounds. Four of them hit her and the others went into the cave and must have bounced off the rock wall and hit the baby. Mom, for the first time I felt really sick to my stomach. The baby was about two months old. I swear to God this place is worse than hell. Why must I kill women and kids? Who knows who's right? They think they are and we think we are. Both sides are losing men. I wish to God this was over.
So who is Marine Cpl. Ronnie Wilson? An anguished letter from a young soldier currently stationed in Iraq? No, Wilson wrote this letter from Vietnam, long around 1965. Corrente has the rest, from an article written by the late David Dellinger in Liberation Magazine back in 1966.
