Fisher is embed with the Marines.
Reports that the captors thought they had more time and would have moved on north had the Marines not pushed on through the night!

"It was at a traffic circle, by a dam".
The marines didn't want the POWs to be humiliated, showing up in the "pajamas" they were found in. Shoshona reportedly had on some type of "hawaiian outfit...white and purple".
So they gave them Marine uniforms to wear....even though they're Army!

Well we now know why Franken called them all Marines and had to keep correcting himself. The seven were rescued by Marines and the Marines didn't want the 7 to be seen in the ragged clothing their captors had given them to wear so the Marines all gave them Marine uniforms to put on before transporting them. The embed reporter said there was joking around about the army soldiers being put in Marine uniforms but that it was an Army helicopter that took them away.
