Yeap the squad leader who called in said that if the reports he heard are true, the squad leader made a mistake in splitting his forces.

He also said given the situation of what happens when you are captured by them, he doubts any soldier would allow themselves to be taken alive.

This is true...hubby talked about this last night....This is an old Indian trick....a small force attacks, you split your forces and follow...then the real attack begins......hubby is terribly upset over this and can't believe they split up and left 1 Spc and 2 PFC's alone........they are trained not to do this...
