Too bad those Fedayeen ba$tards had to make it so hard to know who's really surrendering.

You know, there's a lot of talk about Nazis, but these guys seem worse. Can any historians out there remember a case where soldiers forced citizens of their own nation out in front of them to die?

Sure. In Israel. Hamas (big supporters of Saddam), Islamic Jihad, Yasser Arafat's al Aqsa's Martyr's Brigade, Fatah, PFLP....the list is endless. The techniques of the fedayeen are taken from their playbook.
