Turns my stomach to think of one of our guys in the hands of those barbarians.

I wonder how they got a hold of him/her. I have a bad feeling this soldier's death certificate is going to be signed real soon.

I'm sick of these stupid rules in Afghanistan. The Iraqi's are ten times more westernized then these Taliban characters ...

I have no faith in the people of Afghanistan. I had faith in the Iraqi's.

May Saint Michael watch over and protect this soldier until he can be safely delivered back to his home.

They do and yes the family has been notified before this story came out. That’s how they always do it.

And may his captors meet the wrath they deserve.

I am WELL AWARE of what happens in combat to a soldier. I have the scars to prove it. I don’t need you telling me what might have or might not happen. I know for myself. Thank you very much.
