Look... as far as I can tell, this war is incredibly one sided. We have some numbers of Iraqi surrenders (somewhere over 10,000 by now), but I still haven't seen any numbers of Iraqi dead! We're losing some people, but I'm sure our KILL RATIO is extremely high.
As a soldier myself, I understand that there are going to be American loses. I can't help but wonder how these troops fell into Iraqi hands. I know that I would tell my squad to follow one of the articles of the code of conduct while in Iraq: I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist.
