Dave, what do you say to the allegation that the Iraqis won’t step up and fight themselves?
I can ONLY speak for the unit that I personally work with..... and again my response is this
I will not be able to look my Iraqi Soldiers in the eye (any one of whom would take a bullet that was meant for ME ).. and tell them "I am sorry, but my country has given up on you, Fi AMMAN ALLAH, which is an Arabic term for "Go with God".
