Calley remembers this differently, arguing that when it came to evacuating the civilians, he “helped him [Thompson] carry them on” to waiting helicopters. Thompson himself did not have verbatim recollection of his conversation with Calley when he testified before the Army inquiry board in 1970. This version of the conversation comes from Thompson’s authorized biography.
