US troops' anguish: Killing outmatched foes
http://www.csmonitor.com/2003/0411/p03s01-woiq.html

Coalition forces wonder why more Iraqis didn't surrender to survive. Trauma may linger as
soldiers return.



Yet even as US commanders cite dramatic success in the three-week-old war, many look upon
the wholesale destruction of Iraq's military and the killing of thousands of Iraqi fighters with a
sense of regret. They voice frustration at the number of Iraqis who stood their ground against
overwhelming US firepower, wasting their lives and equipment rather than capitulating as
expected.
