The first photo on the left shows the torture and abuse of these innocent bodies and shows how merciless the U.S soldiers were on the Haditha civilians. Every single inch of their bodies is cover in blood, looking as though they were thrown carelessly into the body bags. The second photo on the right shows a horrible death of a women caused by the bombing in Fallujah somewhere near Haditha.
* It was claimed on November 19, 2005 that there had been roadside bombing that hit a humvee that had U.S marines in; then it was suddenly attacked by men with small fire arms who instigated for U.S marines to fire back at them, but in the end killing eight insurgents while wounding another and killing 19 near by civilians. Although it was later revealed as disturbing news by civilians that it was not the roadside bombing that had killed those in the pictures above. It was claimed that it was the Marines themselves that killed the 19 civilians on November 19, 2005, who raved through unarmed Iraqis homes killing 15 people along with the women and children who also resided in the villages.
A U.S soldier looms over the five Iranians victims; who taken from their car for no particular reason and gunned down at random. Their bodies displayed in a careless manner.
*This photo had literally taken place right after the roadside bombing that killed eight insurgents, and when the surviving soldiers went on a killing spree in Iranians homes. After trying to save his men from the debris from the roadside bombing on the south, Lt. Kallop ordered Staff Sergeant Wuterich to lead the fire team south where it was claimed fire took place from there. However Wuterich abandoned his first mission after getting word from marines that they possibly located the trigger house which was on the North side of Haditha. Wuterich led the surviving marines towards house one and ordered for the house to be treated inimically.
A Vietmese child innocently killed by a U.S soldier, as the U.S military roamed My Lai armed in search of Vietcong; killing any that looked to like Vietcong.
* Photo taken by official army photographer Ron Haeberle who traveled with the Charile company to My Lai on March 16, 1698, who captured the horrible abuse and rapes with a heavy heart. A soldier who had taken the life on this innocent child was interviewed explaining that he seen a 8-year boy come around the corner, "He had half his arm blown off and it was hanging off, somebody had already got him. I shot and killed him, you could say it was a mercy killing," (salem-news.com). Ron Haeberle was not only there but was also taking pictures as the killing of the boy occurred he says " I watched an American soldier shoot this kid. The kid just flipped up into the air. I asked 'why?' and the soldier just walked away."
A trail of Vietmese My Lai citizens lay lifelessly along a muddy trail. The U.S military was so desperate to find Vietcong and end communism that they had gone through such lengths to even kill a baby as shown above.
*This is one of Haeberle's photo's that shocked the nation at the large mass of bodies that just lay lifelessly on top of one another. Babies/infants bodies littered among the adults battered with mud and blood as the lay naked in cold blood. Haeberle at certain times had to walk away to avoid seeing the scenes that would follow after interrogating the Vietnamese citizens. Haeberle exclaims that as he was about to leave My Lai he saw this (photo above) group of bodies on a muddy road ; he exclaimed that " A small child came out...like he was kneeling down to find his mother, and some GI just finished him," (pbs.org).
A infant of Haditha shot in the head after enraged U.S marines stormed the house and killing its occupants because of the loss of their comrade.
* Death of this unknown child's life was caused by the U.S military who at the the time where "seizing an al Qaeda militant from a house," (thewe.cc) it was later claimed by the U.S military acted "accordingly". However the senior Iraqi police stated that the autopsies taken on the five children who were "supposedly" killed in the seizing, exclaimed that they were shot in the head by guns. People who lived within the community of those who were killed were outraged and disgusted at the killing and demanded from the U.S military an explanation of their lies.
The U.S military supposedly as they said were searching for Vietcong in My Lai yet in the photo a 15-year old girl is raped then shot by a U.S soldier, and then her body is just thrown carelessly on the ground without a ounce of remorse.
*There was one soldier named Bunning who elaborated on how the severity of the sex abuse occurred everyday in My Lai. He exclaimed that his life was once threatened as he attempted to try and protect some of the young girls from the U.S soldiers. Bunning also exclaimed that they raped girls from there young teenage years " And when these guys started raping a girl, I mean one was 15, some were 13 and one of them I think was 12," (salem-news.com). It had recorded that at that time 18 rapes had been confirmed throughout My Lai also including gang rapes. There was one women who was among the survivors of My Lai who said she had eye witnessed her sister getting raped by an U.S soldier, while she was hiding away from sight. This women claimed that " An American was pressing on top of her , she had no clothing on her, I didn't know what it meant at the time; my sister tried to resist, After he was done the American stood up and put his clothes on and he shot her," (salem-news.com).
U.S soldiers commanded young Vietnamese man to ground tying a white cloth over his eyes while they interrogated him then later shot him while he was still blind folded.
*No additional information can be given about the picture above. It was said that the U.S soldiers purposely blind folded the young civilian in order to interrogated him about the Vietcong communist, I may also put forth that before they killed the civilian they may also tortured him brutally before sending him to his horrible innocent death.
U.S corporal says that he and his men lost control in their sense of minds as they were accused on killing 19 insurgent and National Guards men in Haditha.
* Bound and Blinded by U.S marines who were themselves blinded by hate. As said the little caption on the photo fishermen and National guardsmen were killed mercilessly although they were killed in a small village called al-Haditha. The corporal of the U.S marines claimed that his comrades who were accused of these killings has lost control and sense of right moral direction.
Three innocent bodies lay askew on the ground who were "supposedly" killed by the roadside bombing that occurred on November 19, 2005, however Iranians claim it was the U.S marines who killed the unknown bodies.
*The U.S marines that killed these three unknown bodies, their charges were dropped for being accused of murdering and failing to fully investigate the deaths of the innocent civilians. It was also claimed that those who died in the photo were bystanders on the roadside bombing that occurred on November 19, 2005, however eye witnessing Iraqi's said that U.S troops shot down five unarmed men while approaching them.
Women and children are gathered into one spot; soldiers attempted to remove the clothing of a 15 year girl as her mother stands in front of her, while the daughter arms are wrapped around her waist.
* This was another one of Ron Haeberle's shocking photos, that show a mother attempting to protect her child who clings to her from behind. One soldier who was interviewed claimed as he saw the scene before " They grabbed this girl, behind this women here. They started stripping her, and her mother was trying to protect her. The GI's were pushing her around, someone kicked her in the ass, and then I heard gunshots," (salem-news.com). Haeberle was also a witness of the scene and after just taking the photo he seen out the corner of his eye " All the bodies falling over," ; before he walked away (pbs.org).
And in the end when all that is said and done, is made up of lies and manipulations of ones weaknesses and vulnerability. Innocent lives were killed are unknowingly as the U.S searched frantically for those who oppose them and deny them their power. The blood that was shed during these massacres will continue to grow more and new wars and massacres to come. Mourning Survivors of their deceased loved ones will want compensation whether it is in blood or bones, compensation is in high demand and America must remember the one line that always comes true in the end: What goes around comes around America. You have it coming real soon and there's no delay.
