I am not in the Army but from what I understand these support troops were ordered not to fire unless fired upon. Since you are not there and were not there when these troops were captured, I would suggest that you keep your less than complimentary comments to yourself.
Since you claim to have been a former Navy Seal, I would expect a lot more class from you than to degrade those who are presently on the battlefield and possibly POW's and/or KIA.

I aplogize to everyone on this thread and to the families of the support troops presently in harm's way.

My anger should be directed at the PC military leadership which is sending support troops into an area full of hostile stay-behind enemy formations when those troops are given less than 100 rounds of practice ammunition for their rifles per year, and who are barely familiar with them, and who are in no way prepared for combat.
