Re #32.
The "fired till all the ammo was gone" was a BS story generated by an unsourced, unnamed "journalist".
The stories dont need to be reconciled.
What needs to happen is everyone needs to take their mouths and minds off PFC Lynch, and leave her alone.Silent prayers excepted.
I dont know about the rest of you, but many people prayed hard for ALL of the POWs, and I, for one, hate the armchair usage everyone with one agenda or another wants to "use" these men and women for, to advance any and all crapola laced cause or prurient interests.
These people had a job,they did it, and none of us here are in their chain of command, or have access to the facts.Nor do we have the need to know.
I wish everyone would remember when they get the urge to "debate" about the people who fought,died,got wounded, captured, or participated in this war,they DO NOT OWE any of us who did not do any of the above, any explanation at all.
We owe them our gratitude.If they need civilian help, they will ask for it.
They will not ask the likes of media hounds like Hackworth.
They will not appreciate pointless speculation.
Leave them be.

Nor do we have the need to know.

Hack may be dotty about some things, but this smells like an abuse of secrecy. If abuses of secrecy are not hounded out into the open you can be certain the abuses will continue until, in a military setting, it gets a bunch of people killed.
