What do you say...?

Is this ex-POW flashing a "V" for victory, or a peace-sign? The corpsman (corpswoman?) handling the stretcher seems a bit uncertain. It doesn't seem beyond the realm of possibility that after spending 3 weeks in the company of Iraqis, Army Spc. Shoshana Johnson might view them as human beings, rather than just the enemy. Or am I being naive?
