I fondly remember going to bed hearing about a column of 80 to 200 vehicles leaving Basra.
I woke up to find that 3 vehicles had left to attack coalition forces. The tanks were destroyed immediately.
The next day an army officer was asked what had happened. The story he gave was that the drivers had been forced from their homes and made to drive the tanks in a suicide mission under threat of their families being executed.
He was asked how he knew this.
His answer: "They were driving in an eratic formation."
