Shoes removed is probably a no running tactic. my best guess.

My mom and I try to collaborate on the news and she gave me some info about this today. Apparently showing someone the bottom of your shoe is a huge insult. Remember the video of the Iraqi citizen smacking the poster of Saddam with his shoe? That is a big thing there, lots of symbolism.

I wonder if the shoes were removed to prevent our guys being able to give this massive insult?

I can't tecall where but it was reported on some thread that the female not only had her shoes off but her feet were bandaged, anyone able to confirm this?

Second point as for those bodies shown, apparently there were 4 more found at the scene of the ambush along with some wounded so more facts and possible eyewitnesses maybe forthcoming at the end of this war...
