"U.S. Marine Rob Sarra had been in the military for eight years when the
war in Iraq began. A sergeant in charge of a unit of 32, he was
considered part of the "tip of the spear" -- among the first troops to
reach Baghdad. In late March 2003, Sarra opened fire on an Iraqi woman
in a black burqa he suspected was a suicide bomber, prompting others in
his unit to begin firing as well. Her body torn apart by bullets, the
woman fell quickly to the ground. It was only then that Rob saw she held
a small white flag." (PBS.org) More
