Good point. No army that has ever lost a battle has ever won another.

Wait . . .

We’re not talking about any army, ever, we’re talking about this one, now. We trained them for years already, and gave them modern equipment that was better than what ISIS had too. Yet, they folded like a cheap suit.

So, what exactly are we doing differently this time that we should expect different results?

I don’t think the Iraqis lost because they lacked training. I think they lacked the will to fight, and that is something we can’t give them.
