        Now they’ll blame it on the deceased troops because they can’t defend themselves.

        Trying to do too much in too many places with limited resources: drone shortage, air support limited, using contractors.

        Planting subtle victim blame? Communication device work? Separated from device by captors? How many backup devices? Why in that location?
