As I walked by, Lieutenant Matt Martin, whose third child Isabella was born while he was on board ship en route to the Gulf, appeared beside me. "Did you see all that?" he asked, his eyes filled with tears. "Did you see that little baby girl?" I carried the body and buried it the best that I could but I had no time. It really gets to me to see children being killed like this, but we had no choice".
Martin distress was in contrast to the bitter satisfaction of some of his fellow marines as they surveyed the scene. "The Iraqis are sick people and we are the chemotherapy" said corporal Ryan Dupre. "I am starting to hate this country. Wait till I get hold of a friggin' Iraqi. No, I won't get hold of one. I'll just kill him."
