MOSUL, Iraq – Scores of Christian men lined up to join the Iraqi Police force during a recruiting drive in Tall Kayf, 15 km north of Mosul, April 28.
The goal of the three-day event was to recruit up to 700 Christians to join the police force to help protect their respective communities in Mosul.
“This recruiting drive will help bolster the economy through employment, in addition to bolstering the security effort,” said Col. Michael Bills, commander of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment.

Good luck and all the best wishes in the world for them; I hope they do well. As Christians and Iraqi police officers, I’m sure they are prime insurgent targets. Brave men.

Smart signing these guys up. I bet there’s less of a chance of them strapping themselves with dynamite.

Is that a problem with Christian Iraqis?

I would think it’s only a problem with muslims looking for their 72 virgins.
