Bodies Found of Missing Marines

From FoxNews:

BAGHDAD, Iraq — The bodies of two U.S. soldiers who were reported missing have been recovered, and an Iraqi official said Tuesday the men were "killed in a barbaric way."

At a press conference in Baghdad, U.S. military spokesman Maj. Gen. William Caldwell confirmed that the remains, found late Monday by U.S. troops, were believed to be those of Pfc. Kristian Menchaca, 23, of Houston, and Pfc. Thomas L. Tucker, 25, of Madras, Ore.

Caldwell said the cause of death was "undeterminable" and that DNA tests would be conducted to verify the identities.
Some would be willing to blame the tortured deaths of our servicemen on America"losing the moral highground."
Losing the moral high ground has consequences. And I fear it will be these two young men who will pay a heavy price for decisions made far above them.
Jeff Goldstein sees it differently.
