#2 Damned shame that he went down. But execution? That would imply that he had given up . . . I would present it as he got hit while fighting and then got capped again by someone wanting to be certain.

We need more men like him.

#3 Didn't all these taliban come from Konduz, where they were surrounded? And then I remember some posted message from a reporter covering the scene saying that aircraft were coming in and out of Konduz and the US was not stopping them. (probably a deal for saving the asses of Pakistani officers among the taliban.) When you get down to it, and we look back, the B52s circling overhead should have been allowed to take out the lot, and Spann would have been alive. Our humanity was our weakness that day, IMHO.
