IF that was their “elite”, then they don’t have a chance.
Was that “elite” or “effete” Iraqi units?
We trained the Iraqi Army for about 10 years. End result: They couldn’t defeat a group of 3rd graders equipped with spit balls and Burger King straws.
Pathetic.

Gee...like Deja Vu all over again.
Coulda swore I saw this same movie 40 years ago ‘bout the same time...
“Elite” has become so overused that it has become meaningless. There is far too much talk about military units, methods and tactics today, and too much talk is dangerous. Some of our “elite” units suffer from diarrhea of the mouth, so it was refreshing to hear how little was said about the recent raid in Syria. Bravo Zulu to “the unit I think it was” for a job well done and also for keeping your mouths shut about it.
It's just that we don't want to for some reason. We all know what it is, but nobody says anything.
That’s Zero’s plan! Arm the Iraqi’s with some of our good weapons and gear then have them run when ISIS says Boo leaving every thing behind for ISIS to recover. Easy way for Zero to transfer arms to ISIS. Zero won’t directly supply arms to the Kurds because he knows they will actually use them to kill his buddies!
They were trained by the US.
Maybe saddam’s army where officers executed their own men for desertion is the only model that works with these people
The only elite units in Iraq are U.S. SF. If you don’t believe me, ask the former “Emir” of ISIS’s oil and gas operations. I’m sure he felt very secure until Delta came knockin’ and administered the old double-tap.
“...Iraqi government threw in its elite units...”
There is not, nor has there ever been, any such thing as an Iraqi elite unit.
