Previously on in the dark.

In the morning of 19th November 2005,

American soldiers had executed three families.

And they come back. Yeah, there was about 24 bodies in the back of the vehicles and I'm like, holy fuck, man.

Maybe a lot of this is imagination, none of this was near as bad as it seemed.

I'm talking about what actually happened to the civilians.

What do you notice was gunshots?

Most of them are a gunshot in the head or in the chest. Shuts, yes. They died this way.

To me they were in me combat. Were they 100% in me combat? I don't know. They lost one of the most loved

guys in the company. In their eyes, you know, it was justified. Not in my eyes.

In your eyes, what would that be?

Sounds like murder, right? There were six Marines involved in the shootings at the White

car and in the houses on November 19th 2005 in Hiditha. You don't have to keep track of all of them now,

but I want to tell you a little bit about them. The leader of the squad was

Sergeant Frank Wutrich. Wooderich was from Connecticut.

He'd been an honor roll student,

and a theater guy in high school.

There's a picture of him in his local paper,

rehearsing a lead role for a performance of our town.

Wooderich had signed up for the Marines when he was 17,

so young that his parents had to co-sign his enlistment papers.

He later said he chose the Marines because it was prestigious.
