dog - the photo is showing up for me. Is it just showing up as a red box for you or something? Cause I'm looking right at this young man.

I need you all to look at this photo and tell me if you think the vest is what is being issued and worn in Iraq.

Also does the M-16 shown look small?

Does anyone know how to make the photo larger? Dog has a question about something regarding this photo which is on Drudge's web site.

Ok, somethings I'd like to point out... first, that vest, and those boots, they aren't military issue, if they are I've never seen em. Next, the mag in the M4 isn't issued I believe, it looks like a mag you would buy for civilian use.

Is this a hoax?
The 'captured soldier' suspiciously looks like a doll for sale on the internet.


military analyst James Marks states -
Marks, a retired Army general, said he has several questions about the photograph's authenticity. A flak jacket the man is wearing in the picture has an unfamiliar kind of piping or trim along its edges, Marks said. The man's open-legged pants, as opposed to gathered hems, seem odd, he said. Marks also questioned what appeared to be camouflage paint on the man's face. "We have not used camo paint with conventional forces serving in Iraq," Marks said.

It looks like an M-4, not a M-16. The vest though, looks odd. Doesn't look like anything I've seen on one of our soldiers. If this video is authentic, then they might have strapped explosives to him.

Why leave the kneepads on the guy? In fact, do the troops generaly wear those? I hadn't noticed them before.

The other thread about this has a statement from the Pentagon saying this story isn't true and that we have no personnel missing.

Did you ever consider becoming an investigative journalist? You just broke this story wide open.
