I know the VERY brave american who went to fight aongside the Kurds said the ISIS fighters were pretty fierce, but i’m assuming that’s against second rate weapons, and, though the Kurds are tough as Nails, no one coms cose to equaling the American military men.
Probably fierce in that neck of the wooods.
Unfortunately, cruelty doesn’t aways mean cowardice.
Examples being the Germans, Japanese, Romans etc.
But for some reason, it seems that arab and Persian fighters basically suck. Iran an Iraq fought for ten years to a stalemate and we defeated Iraq in a few weeks.
I would put my money on ten american marines against 200 or 300 or these guys any day.
Truly the greatest military in the history of the world, with, i guess, Rome, no. 2.
Not to forget Hannibal and his Carthaginian army. Hannibal is still revered as one of the greatest military generals and strategists in history. All the greats have learned from him. Battle of Cannae is still studied.
