fire (tacitly admitting that there were hostile targets).  Childers reply was to question whether or not Red Six heard the  order. Red Six requests clarification, asking if he is to fire into  the crowd, and Childers replies "Yes, Goddamn it!" This exchange was  taped and used in the trial. The problem is that Red Six is the one  who first mentions the crowd, in direct response to Childers order  to engage hostile targets. By inference, he stated that there were  hostile targets in the crowd.
