It probably doesn't matter if it was staged or not, but for what it's worth I was reading in a recent magazine (sorry, can't remember the name right now, I will look for it) that the photo was finally determined NOT to have been staged. The soldier in the photo was in fact identified, and it was known that he was killed the day the photo was taken. Dan C.
