"The return on these training investments? The Iraqi army had 30,000 soldiers in Mosul, who ran away in the face of about 1,000 Islamic State fighters. The same thing happened just a few weeks ago in Ramadi, where 10,000 Iraqi soldiers, collapsing faster than a cardboard box in the rain, fled ahead of only 400 Islamic State fighters. The Iraqis left behind more weapons."
Only in Iraq could you outnumber your opponents 20:1, outgun them in firepower and still retreat.
"The United States is currently in the process of moving to Iraq 175 M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks, 55,000 rounds of main tank-gun ammunition, $600 million in howitzers and trucks, $700 million worth of Hellfire missiles and 2,000 AT-4 rockets."
Now we plan to give ISIS (indirectly) tanks? Are we crazy or maybe the military industrial complex really does exist and is selling us weapons to destroy the weapons we just bought from them.
