Yesterday, I reported that one third of the first battalion of the new celebrated Iraqi army has quit. Now we learn that a half in fact has deserted. It will be amusing, at least to me, if all of them quit except one soldier. Then the Iraqi soldier would become best friends with the Micronesian soldier. The two would then go to dinner together; watch TV together, chase bad guys together, attend picnics, play sports, and even walk on the beach. That would be quite touching.
