“I remember one woman walking by. She was carrying a huge bag, and she looked like she was heading toward us, so we lit her up with the Mark 19, which is an automatic grenade launcher, and when the dust settled, we realized that the bag was full of groceries. She had been trying to bring us food and we blew her to pieces.”
— Jason Washburn, a corporal in the US Marines who served three tours in Iraq, speaking at the Winter Soldier hearings that took place March 13-16, 2008, in Silver Spring, Maryland.
