American valour 'Hogwash, say Indian trucks'

Indian truck drivers who returned after working in Iraq have a poor impression of American soldiers and their valour.
According to their accounts, whenever armed militants attacked a convoy of trucks ferrying supplies to US troops in Iraq, the escort vehicles carrying American soldiers, instead of protecting the convoy, would be the first to flee leaving the unarmed and hapless truck drivers to fend for themselves.

Over 50 persons who returned to India from Iraq a couple of months back are thanking their stars for having escaped the fate that befell the three Indians who were abducted by terrorists in Iraq.
"We feel sorry for Antaryami, Sukhdev Singh and Tilak Raj. Wahe Guru di kirpa naal asi thee thak vapas aagye han (By the grace of the Almighty, we managed to return home safe and sound). We hope they too would return soon. We would never go back to Iraq," truck driver Harnek Singh (30) told rediff.com over phone from his residence in Jalandhar district of Punjab.

And what would these Indian truck drivers know about valor and the American soldiers' duty?
