I feel sorry for the dead guy who seemed to be executed. Hope his family is all right and trying to cope. That's pretty much as real as it gets, no doubt about it. If I had been a soldier and seen that, I probably would've freaked out. Because Ryan is a good soldier, he's not letting it affect him and going on ahead to check the situation out, though I'm sure inside he feels bad for the poor fellow.
On the positive/happy side, I loved the kids who were saying hello to the soldiers and even playing fun games in their presence. I hope this upcoming special is filled with more of those moments, and less of the tragic stuff although I know some stuff has to be shown.
