He followed orders to shoot innocent women and children during the May Lai massacre, as he feared he would get shot if he questioned said orders. A witness said that he cried while shooting at the crowd. Here is part of the interview:

Calley and Meadlo were firing at the people. They were firing into the hole. I saw Meadlo firing into the hole. Q: Well, tell me, what was so remarkable about Meadlo that made you remember him?

A: He was firing and crying.

Q: He was pointing his weapon away from you and then you saw tears in his eyes?

A: Yes. -Private First Class Robert Maples,
