I sure wish VH1 would do a “where are they now” episode on these guys. Anyone know?

I would imagine that the Iraq soldiers that surrendered during the Gulf War were eventually returned to Iraq, and there’s probably a decent chance that several of them will be involved in this next go-round. Hell, maybe they’ll tell the new recruits how nice the Americans were to them, thus encouraging surrender.

I’ll get on Google in a little while, but has anyone else heard anything specific about what happened to these guys?
