Add to that the recent reports that multiple victims were shot in the head several times at close range, and the whole thing becomes even more outrageous. One of the bodies released to Turkey, for example, had 1 shot to the chest and 4 to the head at close range.

Basic combat training, two to the chest, still moving, one to the head. Any soldier who deviated from this when being brutally attacked by any weapon that could kill them is REQUIRED to react in this manner. Training, dippin, it's all about the training, these soldiers did their jobs as they were taught to. Actually the more shot shows to me the true fear these soldier were experiencing at the time of this incident.
