"In the early 1990s, when the resistance against Saddam Hussein's regime had grown bold, he'd been sent to punish the village of Hashezeni by destroying it. "These villagers, they welcomed the leaders of the resistance," he said. "I was sent with 192 missiles in the chopper and one watcher from Tikrit. But I knew he was not experienced, and when we neared the village I gave the stick to him. He couldn't control it! Everything was high, low. We hit a dog with one missile, and the rest missed.""
