The two soldiers were missing after an attack on their traffic checkpoint that left one of their comrades dead.

This was the incident I had heard about, which is why I wondered if our men hesitated to defend themselves.

yes, it was that after that attack, our guys went out looking for the perps and were ambushed.

I'm a little surprised we haven't seen this tactic before now. I'm sure our forces will adjust their protocols of searching in order to guard against this happening again.
