A large group of Iraqi soldiers are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a sand dune: "One Texas soldier is better than ten Iraqi".

The Iraqi commander quickly orders 10 of his best men over the dune, whereupon a gun battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then silence.

The voice once again drawls: "One Texan is better than one hundred Iraqi."

Furious, the Iraqi commander sends his next best 100 troops over the dune and instantly a huge gun fight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again silence.

The Texan voice calls out again: "One Texan is better than one thousand Iraqi."

The enraged Iraqi commander musters 1000 fighters and sends them to the other side of the dune. Rifle fire, machine guns, grenades, rockets and cannon fire ring out as a terrible battle is fought. Then silence.

Eventually one badly wounded Iraqi fighter crawls back over the dune and with his dying words tells his commander, "Don't send any more men ... it's a trap. There's two of them."

When I first read about how Pvt. Lynch fought her captors, I immediately thought of this story.
