Our commander told us that we could resist the invading Americans. But by this time I was far more scared of the US and Britain than I was of my own officers.
I was afraid of the superior tactics of the US Army, but what really concerned me were the helicopter gunships.
"None of our weapons would help us defeat the Americans"
These helicopters eventually came to bomb my unit. Many of my colleagues were killed, along with the commander who told us we could win.
The deaths of my comrades was a tragedy. I was very sad that they had to die in this way.
On the sixth day of the war, the helicopters came again. It was raining, so I saw the opportunity to slip away from my tank. I changed into civilian clothes, held up a white flag and ran back to my family home in Basra.

Most people don't like dieing while accomplishing nothing.
"This cult of special forces is as sensible as to form a Royal Corps of Tree Climbers and say that no soldier who does not wear its green hat with a bunch of oak leaves stuck in it should be expected to climb a tree"
— Field Marshal William Slim 1956
