Would it be wrong to wish these released Iraqi POWs health, prosperity, and much happiness considering they served in the Republican Guard? I'm

Where does it say they served in the RG? Since it doesn't say, quite likely they were part of the regular Iraqi army, which either surrendered, like these fellows, or simply melted away and went literally went "over the hill.

I don't think there is a big difference anymore between regular soldiers and RG. The ones who fought are dead and the others ran away or surrenderred (and that's good enough).

True. In rereading, I see no reference to the RG. A probable poor assumption on my part. Even so, the questions remain. Thanks for clarifying.
