One bright spot in a grim week. Hope the poor buggers all have the sense to make and hide their white flags while they can.

If you get a chance to talk to a Desert Storm vet, ask them if they were involved in any of the "repatriations" of the Iraqis then.
My step dad was Army Guard (Arizona) stationed inside Iraq.
He loved telling how the Iraqis would surrender by the hundreds to just two or three American soldiers - they did it by the thousands.
One single weapon in our arsenal had a devastating and demoralizing affect on the Iraqi forces - the B52 Stratofortress Bomber!
My step dad told me the Iraqis were literally shaking so violently from fear of death from the BUFF runs, many of them couldn't hold a water container in their hands long enough to get a drink of water - for many hours after they had surrendered.
Desert Storm Deja Vue!
