Maybe this is a dumb question, but I've been wondering: How did our soldiers let themselves get taken? Another dumb question: Don't they have guns? I'm just having a hard time imagining a scenario where our soldiers would not be able to fight back or incur injury or death on the perps who were trying to kidnap them.
I've been praying nonstop for our brave soldiers.
They would have guns yes. They were likely out numbered which brings of the matter of why only 3 men at a check point? If the location needs a check point then it needs enough manpower to enforce it. City cops have better check point policy. Not a reflection on these men doing their job but rather their chain of command.
A gut feeling that they weren't taken alive. I hate to say that and I am still praying for them, but these bastards are just plain evil and their biggest trophy would be to kill soldiers and then show us the body. I am hoping my gut feeling is absolutely wrong!
