Even if he was in Saddam's army, I wouldn't really give a shake. 95%+ of them were conscripted troops w/ all of the fight of a wet noodle in them. Have you forgotten the "Mother of all surrenders" in 1991?
At any rate, these are current Iraqi soldiers who went AWOL, just wandered away kicking rocks. The whole thing is a big joke, except it's not funny.

True, I don't care who they fought for or when if ever. If it takes part of the work load off the US solider I'm all for it.
I don't think Bremmer should of disbanded the Iraqi army to begin with - that was a big mistake,
