CNN Anchor: "We've no current verification as to whether these are US or British troops the Iraqis are surrendering to."

Yank 1: "They look to be ours - only US troops wear boots like those."

Yank 2: "Indeed, and they appear to have the standard issue camouflage fatigues."

Yank 3 (Delta Force): "I'm not sure - we'll have to get close-up images of them to be 100%. We'll definately be able to tell from the shape of their Kevlar helmets if they're ours."

Ex SAS: "I'm surprised to learn you're all experts. Since when did US forces carry the SA80 rifle as standard issue? Their DPMs could've been bought, as could their boots and webbing for that matter, so you're chasing rainbows if you can I.D them from their clothes!"

Anchor: "I think you're right."

Ex SAS: "Of course I'm bloody right - anyone with half a brain and basic military training worth their salt should be able to I.D a British soldier by his rifle unless he's special forces! Not to mention the fact that they're covering all their arcs of fire properly, not shouting "woo yeah!" randomly and haven't raised a flag in direct contravention of their orders!"

 

......At this point one of the Americans pulls his mic off and leaves the floor. The other two look very uncomfortable.......

Anchor: "I think we can safely say that the soldiers on your screen are British.......Now for these messages......."
