IMHO, it is all up to the Iraqis now. We won them their freedom. If they can’t keep it they deserve to lives as slaves to the Iranians.
In honor of their fallen colleagues, Iraqi military and police forces need to line the roadways with the headless corpses of ISIS.
I was never in the military but I played alot of sports, first rule I learned is you NEVER warn the oposition of wht your game plan is, neve.
What are they gonna call it, Operation Smoking Caterpillar?
Iraqi army training.....
“Now, when the enemy approaches, first drop your weapons, then take off your uniform (you have likely soiled it anyway), and RUN as fast as you can away from the enemy”.
There is no such thing animal as an “Iraqi” - there is no “National” interests in that area - and no one trust the other tribe across the river....this is no more developed mentally or ideology sound than it was 1400 yrs ago. Take away the cars and cell phones - and it would look exactly like it did when Alexander the Great march through that part of the world.
I wrote a book that more main streamers ignored explaining all this - I guess it wasn’t dumbed down enough for their taste:

Do Iraqi army uniforms have brown pants? Will we be able to buy used Iraqi rifles that were never fired only dropped? Do their tanks have 5 speed transmissions, 4 reverse and one forward? Where have I heard this all before? Oh, its not PC anymore?
