People, the "uniform", "POW" issue is a red herring. The article I read said that some were wearing the "attire" of the Fedayeen. I don't think that constitutes a uniform and they are not a regular army. As I understand it, it just indicated to our troops that they may have been Fedayeen (maybe they were wearing all black, etc) but it has no bearing on POW status, or Geneva Convention rules.

The Fedayeen "uniform" BS is all Hitlery/DNC spin.

Also, some are saying "8 captured". It's actually 26 captured. 18 were wounded and presumably captured, and 8 were captured unhurt.

That also makes the size of the force (dead + wounded/captured + unhurt/captured) at least 72. Wow! And that doesn't count any who might have gotten away. That was one huge coordinated attack and that's somewhat worrisome. But... it's better that they attack our troops in this way (rather than roadside bombs) because when they fight us in the open like this, these are fights our guys will win.
