Exactly. That and many others. There were articles like that one in every one of the UK papers I read online (Times, Telegraph, Guardian, Independent etc. ). In fact, that article by Patrick Bishop is the second one of it's kind in the Telegraph. There was also this one by Olga Craig, Unlike the American troops, we look the Iraqis in the eye.
It's become a recurring theme in the UK papers, who conveniently ignore the fact that the US troops were the advancing force, while the Brits pretty much sat outside Basra for 2 weeks until it fell from within. The US troops are also patrolling the most hostile, Sunni areas to which all the Baath members, Republican Guard and Fedayeen fled while the Brits patrol Basra (a friendly, Shiite city that hated Saddam). How nice for them that they can wear berets and hand out candy. The US troops are dealing with tougher stuff, and doing it admirably.
