<Another point, I wonder how many of those embeds have gained an entirly different view of the US servicemen and women. Of their dedication, valor and commitment?

Are you including Geraldo? No, some are beyond learning.

From the article:
... utterly inept Iraqi Army.

Not exactly true. I've seen utterly, and it couldn't fire a weapon to save its life -- literally. The Iraqi Army was ill-trained and ill-equipped for modern warfare. Few nations, I think, could have done better, when compounded by the fact that a very large majority of the enemy forces did not want theis war, and many were even prepared to walk out on it -- and had.

Not "inept," so much as it was "without heart."
