I was listening to an interview of a prominent Christian leader in
Baghdad who fears ISIS is nearing an attack on the city. He has about
32 Iraqi army body guards. He asked one , what would he do if he saw
ISIS coming at him and the soldier said that he would discard his
uniform and run. The clergyman asked why he was a soldier if he
wouldn't do his duty. The soldier replied that he just needs the
money, a job, inferring there was no sense of duty or patriotism. I'm
afraid this is typical of the Iraqi army. Wasn't this the norm during
the first and second Iraq wars?
Shouldn't it have been the norm in all places and times? Think of the
millions -- by now probably billions -- of people who wouldn't have
been killed in this planet's numbnuts wars if the soldiers doing all
the killing had just said, "Fuck this," and gone home.
However they also did this during the Gulf War. I don't think Saddam
wanted a "strong" military as he probably feared they would overthrow
him. He had his loyal secret police instead. I also don't think the US
wanted a strong military there or they would overthrow the puppets we
put in place. Maybe we should export some of our "cowboy cops" to Iraq
who would make quick work of ISIS. And if ISIS really actually tried to
do something in the US our "gun nuts" would make quick work of them.
