Did you notice that the company making them was HQed in Kirkuk? That is in the Kurdish region, our staunchest allies besides the tiny Christian minority. I found that interesting. Iraqi infrastructure is producing those kits. With the cost of labor there, I think they ARE making money on the kits- and loving what they do!

No, did not notice this armor is from Kirkuk. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Perhaps the same firm could also help the installation program move more quickly.

The Kurds are going to get most of what they want, and absolutely deserve to. I predicted this back when the Turks decided they weren't going to cooperate. Independent Kurdistan is a very real possibility. Turks have only themselves to blame.

The Aramaic speaking Christians have held out under 1350 years of brutal pressure, and have my respect. I hope our people take very good care of them.
