Zarko lasts for one hour: What would you say?

In all liklihood, his ear drums had been shattered and his lungs scarred from the blast heat. The concussive force of both 5ks must have rocked his world. But let's pretend he could still see and hear in those final 30 after the team got to him.

What would you have said to him just as you got to him?

Here's mine: "tell Allah to teach you how to clear a SAW properly"

or maybe put your combat knife to his throat, "we're gonna behead you after you die"

After a half-ton of high explosives detonated at point blank range, I have to imagine that "lived" is a more medical than practical term.

If he actually retained enough awareness to do so, I hope he hurt beyond the ability of words to describe.

And I love this one;

So what if we had beat the living, gurgling snot out of him?  What of it?  What's the logic here...we have a right to blow his backside to Kingdom Come, but if it doesn't work, we're morally bound to restore him to health?  I just don't get the implied thinking sometimes.

Apparently, for some folks, a person can't be evil or heinous or horrendous enough to deserve so much as a harsh talking to.

Geeeez.

What would I have told him?  I'd have told him that we'd also found his family, and we're going to get them all, and bury each with the corpse of a swine for company.  In Central Park.  Facing Los Angeles.

Nice.  Everyone in the house died, and the Iraqi military was first on the scene.  So who is it that is "claiming" that US troops stomped on him?  Mainstream media printing rumors again?
