    As already pointed out, this conflict is not "ISIS vs. the Iraqi Government."

    ISIS is spearheading a Sunni coalition with the goal of separating from Maliki's corrupt Shi'ite regime.

    Many of the towns they "conquered" welcomed them with a parade. A lot of the IA that threw down their weapons and uniforms in flight have trickled back in and are taking denunciation oaths for their time served under the New Iraqi Flag.

    The Kurds have pushed the Green Line south of Kirkuk, and are obviously hoping more for fracture than unity.

    I partnered with a Sunni, AQI infiltrated unit in '05-'06.

    As that city was among the first to "fall," I can guarantee you right now that most of those soldiers are fighting with the Sunni coalition of tribes against the Maliki regime.
    (Probably right next to Safwa forces/SOI that bled themselves out expelling AQI during those same years)

    I partnered with a Shia, JAM infiltrated unit in '08-'09.

    I can also guarantee you that at least a chunk of those soldiers left the IA to go fight in the JAM.
    (Probably all the best ones...)

    If they have PEQ2's I bet they have NODs. I know that when I was in Iraq in 08/09 IA were getting PVS7's. Whats funny is that what ever SFG is being sent over there is probably going to be fighting people who are better trained, equipped and organized than who we were fighting back in 08. lol what did we think they were doing in the 2 years after we left, guess we know why things were so smooth when we left in 2011.

    I'll bet they don't even leave the wire.

    The Maliki regime is a lost cause. He chose to rule in a corrupt and sectarian fashion specifically because he thought he could spit in the Sunnis faces every day, massacre them in the streets with their protest banners, and if they ever tried to strike back that we would bail him out.

    Well now guess what? We're not doing it.

    Guess what else? A week after Sistani issued his "grab your gun and get in the street" fatwa to the Shi'ite militia, he is calling for a new Iraqi government "with broad support" within the next four days.

    Ma'aslaama, shitbag.

    Or perhaps instructors for the middle eastern branch.

    Was reading somewhere that isis was getting trained by the mujahdeen, which were trained by the Chechens, which were probably trained by us.

    Don't know if that's legi. Anyone really know?

    . Maybe Someday we'll quit doing this proxy war thing and not have to deal with blow back.

    Worst part of all, the next round is going to be so much worse. God help us if these sum bags really do some damage here in the conus.

    more captured western equipment. UN vehicles are from the overrun Golan Heights position.





    At least the UCP pattern will have a home after we finally drop it...



    TOW missiles are becoming quite prolific back inside Syria, check out youtube...



    Trifecta! M-16, uparmored truck, and M-198 howitzer

    I though we were the ones who helped train and supply the mujahideen in the 80's. I think this go around will be much worse just due to them having decent equipment we left behind. The biggest threat of them attacking here is how big they are on social media. All it takes is the right moron already living here to be brainwashed enough to do something.
