1:33:21
Engage hostile targets
as they appear!
1:33:24
Waste the motherfuckers!
1:33:34
Cease fire!
Cease fire!
1:33:38
Cease fire!
1:33:43
Order arms!
1:33:46
I was proud of my marines.
1:33:48
They showed
remarkable discipline.
1:33:50
Why didn't you fire
at the snipers in the buildings...
1:33:52
instead of at the crowd below?
1:33:54
Because I believed we were
in greater danger from the crowd.
1:33:56
- Was that crowd firing at you?
- Yes.
1:33:59
The demonstrators in front of
the building were firing at you...
1:34:03
in addition to the snipers?
- Yes.
1:34:05
Why didn't anybody else
see that crowd firing?
1:34:08
My men were
under cover on the roof,
1:34:10
except for Krasevitch
who was on an observation post.
1:34:12
And why isn't he here testifying
on your behalf today?
1:34:18
Because he was killed in action.
He died in my arms.
1:34:21
So you were the only man left in
a position to observe that crowd?
1:34:25
Yes.
1:34:27
Where else have you been
in combat, Colonel?
1:34:30
Vietnam, Beirut,
1:34:33
Panama, Persian Gulf.
1:34:35
Can you identify that blue and
white ribbon on your uniform?{141947}{141989}It's the Navy Cross.
1:34:39
Do you remember the citation
that accompanied that medal?
1:34:43
For conspicuous gallantry in
the face of great personal danger,
1:34:46
reflecting great credit
upon himself,
1:34:47
"the United States Marine Corps
and the Naval Service".
1:34:50
Your witness.
1:34:56
Colonel,
1:34:59
you gunned down
more than 80 people.
