Two days ago 504 civilians were living in their homes worried of the atrocities that could kill them all in a heartbeat. Two days ago people had homes, families, and friends. Today, those homes are burned to the ground and those relationships have vanished. Of the 504 unarmed civilians in the Son My village, only 157 are still alive. I didn’t participate due to having a slight injury from my trek, but I did get to see the aftermath of what happened. After seeing what these soldiers did I’m not surprised to see why people back home would not support us through this war. Woman, children, elderly, even babies were killed.
