Rand David's Story

Marines who were with him that day said they didn't see him shoot this farmer. They told us the Marines were jumpy that first day and there was a lot of gunfire. And then we got into another firefight and that's the second time I shot somebody. We came up to a fortified position, it was Iraqi soldiers and a guy popped out and I shot him and that's what actually he was wearing that. Yeah. It wasn't just chaotic for the Marines. More than 200,000 would die in the course of the war.
