The guerrillas hole up in villages in the day, he said, “and come out at night.” Thus he “instituted a campaign of burning these huts.”

General Barr flew over the vicinity of T’anyang on January 18, giving this description:

Smoke from flaming villages and huts has filled valleys [in the] vicinity [of] Tangyang [sic] with smoke three thousand feet deep and blinded all my observations and created [a] flying hazard…. Methodical burning of dwellings is producing hostile reaction…. People cannot understand why US troops burn homes when no enemy present…. Methodical burning out poor farmers when no enemy present is against the grain of US soldiers. From house burning we already have estimated 8000 refugees and expect more. These are mostly the old, crippled, and children.
