The entire ISIS “army” is about 25,000. And its scattered all across Syria.
We are on the wrong side there. But yes, cowardice is rife in the Arab world. It just is. A million of them walking into Europe is exhibit A. And the arabs have a tactic of talk big, negotiate, and withdraw. Their military traditions, and traditions of individual self defense are very weak.
That number of 25,000 is low
It is perhaps the number of foreigners fighting for ISIS based on Al Baghdadis call to all muslims to come fight for the caliphate
We are going to have to disagree that the civilian populations of besieged cities like Aleppo Mosul and now Deir Ezzor are cowards
But when we are supporting the barbarians atracking them, we have no stones to throw
