Mr. Haeberle: That is right.}}</ref> He submitted the black and white photos as part of the report on the operation to brigade authorities. By his own testimony at the Courts Martial, he admitted that official photographs generally did not include soldiers committing the killings and generally avoided identifying the individual perpetrators, while his personal color camera contained a few images of soldiers killing elderly men, women of various ages and children. Haeberle also testified that he destroyed most of the color slides which incriminated individual soldiers on the basis that he believed it was unfair to place the blame only on these individuals when many more were equally guilty. He gave his color images to his hometown newspaper, ''The Plain Dealer'', and then sold them to ''Life'' magazine. Criticism was initially levelled at Haeberle for not reporting what he witnessed or turning in his color photographs to the Army. He responded that "he had never considered" turning in his personal color photos and explained, "If a general is smiling wrong in a photograph, I have learned to destroy it.&nbsp;... My experience as a G.I. over there is that if something doesn't look right, a general smiling the wrong way&nbsp;... I stopped and destroyed the negative." He felt his photographs would never have seen the light of day if he had turned them in.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1972/01/22/coverup |title=The Massacre at My Lai |last=Hersh |first=Seymour |date=1972-01-14 |magazine=The New Yorker |access-date=2023-06-16}}</ref> It was confirmed in the U.S. Army's own investigation that Haeberle had, in fact, been reprimanded for taking pictures which "were detrimental to the United States Army".<ref>{{cite report |title=Report of the Department of the Army Review of the Preliminary Investigations into the My Lai Incident |volume=II, Testimony, Book 14 |url=https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ll/llmlp/RDAR-Vol-IIBook14/RDAR-Vol-IIBook14.pdf |date=1970-03-14 |publisher=Library of Congress |lccn=97042604 |page=100 |access-date=2023-06-21}}</ref>
