WINTER SOLDIER -- ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY & SCREENCAP GALLERY

SCOTT CAMILE:  The village burned.  The people that were in the village they wanted time to get their goods out and shit, but we just burned down the village and they had to leave their goods there.

KENNETH CAMPBELL:   I was trying to find somebody that knew something about a vil wiped out in Quang Tree.

SCOTT CAMILE:  Right.  I was there.

KENNETH CAMPBELL:   You got that.

SCOTT CAMILE:  Because we went into the area, and it was to set the example to show that we weren't fucking around.  So the first thing we do is burn down the village and kill everybody just to let them know we weren't fucking around.

KENNETH CAMPBELL:  See, that was before I got there and everybody was talking about it when I got there. 

SCOTT CAMILE:  I forgot about that.  I didn't even remember that.

KENNETH CAMPBELL:  This is going to fit right in together because he's got the same company I have, and I'll pick it right up from there.

SCOTT CAMILE: Whenever they question me, they'll have to get me to elaborate on that because I forgot all about that one.

KENNETH CAMPBELL:  How could you forget that?  I remembered it and I wasn't even in on it.

SCOTT CAMILE:  That was one of the last ones we did because I went home after that.  They did the same thing after I left that they were doing before that?

KENNETH CAMPBELL:  Same shit man.  That is exactly what all of this is going to bring out.  Same shit.

SCOTT CAMILE:  ... and there was a river on each side, and there was another company behind each river, and like the people were running around inside, and they were just shooting them, and like the newspapers said, "Operation Stone, like World War II movie," and we just sat up there and we wiped them out.  Women, children, everything.  291 of them.

Q.  Is there something that you really want to kind of say in terms of the crimes and why they happened.  What brings you here?  What do you want to testify to?

A.  I'd almost need a book to answer that, man.  It's like, so many things bother me about just that short period that I was over there, the whole two years I was in the army.  I didn't like being an animal, and I didn't like seeing everybody else turn into animals, either.
