They actually used the word surrender? Usually they say they were evacuated after completing their mission lol.

Even still western media can’t help but slip in sympathetic wording like “uncertain fate”, implying that we as readers should be invested in the wellbeing of these people. Ordinary Iraqi soldiers defending their nation didn’t get this type of sorrowful commentary

In fact, I decided to look up some articles from 2004 to see how they describe the capture of Iraqi soldiers (they mostly use flat passive language if they are mentioned at all, that X amount of Iraqi guard surrender and were captured at Y battle, sent to Z base for processing).

Half of the articles are about torture and whether it’s right or wrong, and there are some articles about how torturing Iraqis made our vets feel bad

Only this sick depraved empire can come to your country, destroy all civilization, torture thousands of your people & then write articles years later about how hard it was for them torture others and what a burden it is.

I remember articles arguing to not accept the surrender of Republican Guard.
