I like this story. It adds even more the questions about credibility of other accusations against our servicemen by "neighbors and witnesses" with who make these outrageous accusations.
I would think that once you have dropped 2-500 lb bombs on someone, the need to drag them out and beat them with your fists to bloody their faces would be pretty slight.
Yeah, a reasonable person might come to that conclusion. but we are not dealing with reasonable people here!
I am constantly amazed at the stretches to credulity our enemies, both in Iraq and at home, will claim as fact.
