I was reading the coverage about PFC Lynch's rescue. The commandos were made aware that there was a burial site nearby of other soldiers killed during the ambush. These young men didn't have shovels so they dug up the remains using their bare hands. I can't imagine the horror they'll live with because of that but they did it so that families would be able to bury their loved ones. Humanity of the best kind found in the nightmare of war.
