5 KIA 3 MIA
Patrol of seven soldiers and an Iraqi interpreter came under fire outside Mahmoudiya this morning. When backup arrived, five were dead and three were missing. Intense search underway. MIAs, a very rare event that hasn’t ended well in the past.

Helpless feeling, as usual. Nothing to do but pray for them.

Seems like Sunnis. If it were Shites, I’d think perhaps they were to be used as barter for the 5 Iranians. I agree, we need to pray.
