The officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity
Sorry crAP this is not credible.......
The Continental militia had their moments, too.
More anonymous Iraqi sources? They have zero credibility. I’ll wait for confirmation from our troops.
- This position will be held and the Section will remain here until relieved.
- The enemy cannot be allowed to interfere with this programme.
- If the Section cannot remain here alive it will remain here dead, but in any case it will remain here.
- Should any man, through shell shock or any other cause, attempt to surrender he will remain here dead.
- Should all guns be blown out the Section will use Mills bombs and other novelties.
- Finally, the position as stated, will be held.

Of all the available people in the world, AP has to hire a disgruntled Serb to report on Iraq. What a bunch of maroons.
I have been in sand storms in Iraq, and and visibility can be a matter of feet and yards. If they were under heavy attack they might have indeed pulled back to more secure or stronger positions. So my question is did they abandon their positions or did they pull back under heavy fire to regroup? Articles like this are pure bullshit and second guessing commanders on the ground.
