Unfortunately that's exactly what I think, probably executed. PFC Lynch was from the same unit - we saw 4 dead and 5 on TV, now we have 9 dead. Sadly the math adds up.

I also think that's why the blackout on the identities of the bodies. Once the news gets out that our POW's were being executed it will get ugly in the field, and I think they are trying to control that right now.

Sod what's gonna happen out there, just imagine the reaction from people around the world who will be justifably outraged by this act of brutality, which will not go unpunished.

There are also reports that the bodies were burned so thats why there is no info on identity till DNA done in Dover.

commish, it takes time to ID bodies. If they can't get fingerprints, they'll use dental records and other forensic methods. But to be sure, they'll confirm IDs via DNA testing. They have to be sure. I read that they're bringing the bodies to Dover, Delaware, for testing. And the families get notified first before the IDs are released.

I think you are forgetting the four bodies that were found buried last week. So, there have been 13 bodies recovered in all but haven't heard about identification. So if those were the two soldiers seen sipping tea on that video that still leaves five who were seen initialy, (including Shoshana) the two captured after the helicopter crashed and the missing girl named Lori. One other I am not sure about.
