They have not had an enemy until they have The Republic of Korea as an enemy.
The new Iraq government ought to rent the Tiger Division as their police force.

Yup. Don't mess with those guys. I was about five miles off-shore when the ROK made a WW-2 type landing onto the beaches at Qui Non in 1966-67. VC activity in the area ceased immediately.

The Iraqi's don't want the tigers hunting, they may want to talk with any VC Left over from that war, who lived in the II Corps area.
