Once the battle ends, military officials say all surviving military-age men can expect to be tested for explosive residue, catalogued, checked against insurgent databases and interrogated about ties with the guerrillas.

It is very smart they are checking these guys for explosive residue.
Goodness,yes, prayers for a quick recovery.
