Two incidents reported on NPR's Morning Edition regarding surrender of Iraqi troops (these are paraphrases): 1) One guy was encountered alone in the desert wearing Bermuda shorts and a Hawaiian shirt, and looking generally ready to party down. When he was challenged, he replied in a Chicago accent, "Where you guys been? I've been waiting forever!" Turns out he was an Iraqi-American, who had been in Iraq visiting his grandparents when hostilities broke out, and he was drafted into the Iraqi army. 2) A lone allied soldier, separated from his unit, his Jeep bogged down in the mud, was being born down on by an Iraqi tank and supporting vehicles. The tanker stopped, hitched the tank to the jeep, pulled it from the mud, and promptly surrendered. -- Edited by Brad Templeton.
