Here is a description of the contents of these photos.

First one, taken from a TV screen, soldier is lying on the ground.  He is white,
wearing n army t-shirt.  He more or les fills the screen, head near bottom,
torso extending upward, legs off the top of the screen.  He looks wet, although
I'm not sure what the fluids are.  His uniform shirt is lying on the ground
beside him.  He is not wearing a helmet.  There is a pool of blood on the ground
under his head.  There is a TV caption/logo thing covering most of the bottom of
the screen.  You see part of the guy's head above it, and the blood below it,
but you can't see his forehead.  After looking at this photo, this may be one of
the soldiers who was shot between the eyes.

Second one has two guys.  First one, also no uniform shirt.  He's wearing
suspenders.  You can see his head but there is no detail visible because of the
way he is lying.  Either that or his face has been shot off.

In the same photo is another body behind the first one.  This one is also
wearing a uniform t-shirt but no shirt over that.  He has his shirt pulled up
and his pants pulled part way down and you can see his underwear.  I hadn't
noticed that before.  You see more when you describe this stuff.

I hadn't realized that American soldiers fought without uniform shirts, with
their pants pulled part way down, and with no helmets, but you learn something
new every day.

As I said, the subject of this email was "I like Americans", and the text was
"At least these ones."

The first email I got contained a photo taken from German or Austrian video, of
an American POW, who is alive and looks to be in good shape.
