The rush to 'embed' reporters in military units for the Iraq invasion had some strange results. Reporters were drafted in from all over to suddenly become 'war correspondents' whether they liked it or not! Chris Ayres was one of the latter who found himself caught on the tide of war fever and deposited by sheer chance at a key moment in the opening exchanges just before being 'dis-embedded' and sent home, much to his relief!
