Not at all, shitbird. I visit them, drive them to appointments and take care of administrative matters plus attending their counseling sessions. Believe it or not I am a Wounded Warrior myself. We depend on one another and not depend on shitbirds.
Yep. Abandoning tanks and heavy weapons just like in Mosul. The Iraqi army is a awful joke, awful due to all the wasted effort training them and providing them arms - not to mention human suffering due to ISIS.Ramadi falls,It seems like Iraqi forces are doing more "fleeing" than anything...
Key Iraqi City Falls to ISIS as Last of Security Forces Flee
BAGHDAD — The last Iraqi security forces fled the provincial capital of Ramadi on Sunday, as the city fell completely to the militants of the Islamic State, who ransacked the provincial military headquarters, seizing a large store of weapons, and carried out executions of people loyal to the government, according to security officials and tribal leaders.
The fall of Ramadi to the Islamic State, despite intensified American airstrikes in recent weeks in a bid to save the city, represented the biggest victory so far this year for the extremist group, which has declared a caliphate, or Islamic state, in the vast areas of Syria and Iraq that it controls. The fall of Ramadi also laid bare the failed strategy of the Iraqi government, which had announced last month a new offensive to retake Anbar Province, a vast desert region in the west of which Ramadi is the capital. The city has fallen,” said Muhannad Haimour, the spokesman for Anbar’s governor. Mr. Haimour said that at least 500 civilians and security personnel had been killed over the last two days in and around Ramadi, either from fighting or executions. Among the dead, he said, was the 3-year-old daughter of a soldier.

That they just give up, proves one or more of the following:
- They are underpaid (however true patriots don't run away when their nation's survival is at stake).
- The training was inadequate, and they were totally unprepared for suicide attacks and other terrorist tactics.
- They are totally undisciplined, and have no organization whatsoever.
- They are totally demoralized, and the Iraqi army is incapable of holding ground, even with US air support.
It is obvious that the militias and the Kurds, are the only groups really holding the line, while the Iraqi army just retreats.

NOT is the usual partisan hack, and only appreciates ex-soldiers that go on their knees and beg Saint Michael Moore for forgiveness for 'fighting for Dick Cheney and big oil'.
Who do you speak to that's smarter than everyone in government and the military? The guys sitting on the steps drinking T-Bird and Kool-Aid from a brown paper bag?

Seems to me ISIS is doing what we ourselves tried to do. Twice. But failed. So all the annimosity towards them seem hypocritical to say the least.
the war in Iraq was won. We should have built a military base there like we have always done when we win a war, and defeat an enemy, but Obama pulled out as Biden claimed Iraq would be a "great achievement".. Maybe it is in the eye's of Obama?
