QUESTION. Mr. Bishop, could you elaborate some more on the circumstances of the killing of the four NVA nurses?

BISHOP.
I didn't say it in the testimony, but it's written on my testimony
sheet. The operation was Meade River, a very large scale operation. ROK
(Korean) Marines were involved, U.S. Marines and Army were involved,
and the ARVNs were involved. A cordon was set up outside of Da Nang and
a big squeeze was put on right outside the airport. There were quite a
few body counts as far as the enemy went. It was something like 1,300.
The allies had something like 700or 800 so-called dead — we never knew.
On part of the operation, we had just gotten through making heavy
contact and we went through a bunker system. It was a large bunker
system and we found hospitals. We came across four NVA nurses that were
hiding out in one of the bunkers. They were nurses, we found medical
supplies on them and they had black uniforms on. The ROK Marines came
up to us and one of their officers asked us if they could have the NVA
nurses, that they would take care of them because we were sweeping
through the area, and that we couldn't take care of any POWs. So, I
imagine, that instead of killing them, we handed them over to the ROK
Marines. Well, we were still in the area when the ROK Marines
started tying them down to the ground. They tied their hands to the
ground, they spread-eagled them; they raped all four. There was like
maybe ten or twenty ROK Marines involved. They tortured them, they
sliced off their breasts, they used machetes and cut off parts of their
fingers and things like this. When that was over, they took pop-up
flares (which are aluminum canisters you hit with your hand; it'll
shoot maybe 100-200 feet in the air) — they stuck them up their vaginas
— all four of them — and they blew the top of their heads off.
MODERATOR. Any further questions?
