#1 Love the pix. Custers last mortar. Looks like it was made out of spare parts. I recognize the hydraulic jack frame.

#2 Didn't mention residual body parts. Must have been strung all over the acreage.

#3 Its actually a French WWI 58mm trench mortar. Quite effective for what it was, it didn't have to shoot very far, be very accurate or be moved far or often.

#4 Job well done by the 7th Squadron, 10th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division! Hopefully, DNA tests will show that any scraps of meat, flesh, and bone fragments that were recovered belonged to the terrorist mortar crew and not some hapless goats that happened upon the scene.
