A personal note about Mongolian Troops. My deceased uncle fought in Russia with the German Army during WW2(and spent 4 years in a Russian pow camp) and I'll always remember how he told me that in a war noted for its barbarity the Mongolian troops who fought on the Russian side were some of the most cruel and barbaric troops he faced. Until near the end of the war they shot most prisoners they captured and their Russian officers had very little control over them.

I'd be curious to see how the new Mongolian army compares to them.

The Mongols killed 800,000 Iraqi's when Baghdad refused to surrender.

If the city surrendered, they didn't kill anyone.

If they didn't, they killed everyone, save a few who could warn the next town of what was coming.
