Fifty-five words

``The helicopter flew down to investigate. 'It was a woman' Ridenhour remembered, 'spread-eagled as if on display. She had an 11th Brigade patch between her legs – as if it were some type of display, some badge of honor. We just looked; it was obviously there so people would know the 11th Brigade had been there.'"

From Seymour Hersh's book about the My Lai massacre.

Calley - ringleader or scapegoat, depending on who you read - is a jeweller now, apparently.
