Division? 30?

I had always thought that a division was an army unit around 15,000 men. If this is the 30th of them then we have at least 450,000 people fighting for us against Assad and ISIS.

Wait, we have a half dozen and not 450,000?

US-backed leader of Syrian rebel group quits and lists 6 problems with the training program

Business Insider | Sep. 21, 2015

The chief of staff of the US-trained Syrian rebel group Division 30 resigned from his position on social media on Saturday, days after a top military general told Congress that the US had successfully trained just “four or five” opposition soldiers.

Citing problems such as “slowness in the implementation of the training program of the 30th brigade,” “the lack of sufficient numbers of trainees,” and “the lack of seriousness in the implementation of the project to establish the 30th brigade,” Colonel Mohammad al-Daher announced his withdrawal from the program.

This was the “John Fairy Platoon”, known in Syria as “the New Vichy Boys”.

If there was ever a reason to convict Kerry and Hillary and Obama of giving “aid and comfort” to the enemy, this is it.

There aren’t enough words in the English dictionary to describe the sheer stupidity, futility, arrogance, and down right incompetence of this training “friendlies” program, a total failure from the start.

I think I’ll get our old Swift Boat Veterans group back together to do another best-selling book exposing John Kerry’s cowardice and treason.

Maybe we’ll entitle it “Unfit for the Human Race: The Foreign Policy Failures of John F**king Kerry Since His Betrayal of the US and our Allies in Vietnam”.
