(P.S. - Why does it take laymen like us, at home in our pajamas and not getting paid for this, to notice things and make analytical connections that the media can't, or simply refuses to?)
Yeah, that's what I see as well. So what do we have here... insurgent gets cut during arrest probably because he was resisting, tried to run away, or maybe he tripped over a box of RPG's. Who knows? Point is, a soldier then applies some first aid to the bleeding man.
This scene probably plays itself out hundreds of times a day.
I can't believe how "manufactured" the news have become.
Good catch!
