CHAPTER

Four Hours in Me Lie

Echo: Me lie is a war crime. It's an atrocity. I don't think beforehand that anyone thought we would kill so many people. We almost wiped out the whole village, a whole community. Do you realize what it's like killing 500 people in a matter of four or five hours? You line up 50 people, women, old men, children, and just mow them down. That day in me lie, I was personally responsible for killing about 25 people, personally. A massacre in atrocity. Echo: America isn't an incredibly benevolent nation with a conscience and a soul that as a whole is good. But not all good people are dark.
