Specialist Robert C. Oxman, 21, had put a dead fighter’s phone in his pocket. As the platoon descended, the phone rang and rang, apparently as other fighters called to find out what had happened on Sautalu Sar. By sunrise, it had been ringing for hours.

Intel should trace every one of those calls and do some unfriendly door knocking.
And the village elders want to collect their dead? How did they know the dead were from their village? I thought the usual story is that the Taliban are interlopers cowing the locals.
