A really good buddy of mine was an MP overthere the first time. Said there were so many prisoners it boggled the mind, The US was totaly unprepared for their army to surrender in the numbers that did. He talked about loading up greyhound type buses with prisoners in convoys of twenty or thirty buses, there was supposed to be 4 MPs on every bus, one driver and three gaurds. When the buses would get to the camps they would usually have 1 or 2 MPs for the whole convoy, One driving the front bus and maybe, if they had enough manpower, one driving the rear bus. The prisoners were so desperate for food and everything else, that their only mission was to be under the command of the US.
I remember a doonsbury cartoon with an Iraqi platoon surrenduring to our Marines, and the Iraqi seargent saying " we surrender, can I eat you chapstick?"
