#1 Sad to say, but this may be the least-bad of the possible outcomes.

#2 let's hope he died before they could practice their "Religion of Peace" atrocities on him. RIP

#3 I believe the record remains unbroken: don't expect to survive capture by the Religion of Peace.

#4 More...

Newlove was shot once in the head and twice in the torso, according to Logar provincial spokesman Din Mohammad Darwesh. He speculated Newlove may have been wounded in a shootout with the Taliban and died because there was no medical care available in the rugged mountain area.

Or finished off.

#5 Agree with Tu. It sounds like he was hit in the torso, they tried to bring him in for capture, but realized he was to far gone so just finished it.

#6 Yes, probably better dead than captured. Thank you for your service Officer Newlove. You are a true American hero. RIP.
