If this story is true, the Iraqi army is eager to get on with the war. Their families are being held hostage to get them to fight, and they can't wait to surrender.

"They are terrified," said one army captain, clad in a blue beret. "They won't surrender at the first shot. They will surrender when they hear the first American tank turn on its engine.
