IRAQ: Stand on your own, soldiers

How many times do we need to train the Iraqi soldiers before they defend their own country? Their retreat from Mosul last year, and more recently from Ramadi, clearly demonstrate their lack of commitment to defend themselves.

If you’re looking for an M-4 carbine in new condition, get one that belonged to an Iraqi soldier. It’s never been fired, and only dropped once. You have to hurry, though, before ISIS beats you to it.
