O'donnell says he was drinking about a fifth and a half of whisky every day, sometimes home made. O'donnell shot one japanese woman because she was coming across a field at night. The bullet had gone through her and out the baby's back. That still bothers me. I still feel i committed murder. You can see how something like that might pierce the normal psychological defenses that anyone who has to face another soldier in combat may have put up,. right a way to get through your emotional armor.
