Kind of have to agree with you Bhairitu. I think Saddam's army was mainly for
show. He did have his Republican Guard that would fight, though they shed their
uniforms for civi's to blend in with the general population . However, I bet
they are mostly ISIS now. That cop that shot the Brown character in Mo. was
absolutely terrifying, enough to make a Navy SEAL soil his britches. He and the
Pillsbury Doughboy could really rattle ISIS. Hell, I'd put that little girl
from Jersey that shot her instructor with an uzi up against ISIS, just don't
let me be around at the time.

Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Iraqi Air Force Delivers Supplies to ISIS
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.
