True dat. The Iraqi are about 3 centuries ahead of the Afghanis in terms of modern culture. Makes a huge difference when a 21st century western force is trying to “win the hearts and minds of the people”

Now, back to watching the Prevaricator in Chief continue his tango with the media and the American people about how much smarter he is than his generals

God Help our troops over there struggling while the incompetent narcissist muses out loud about not yet having a “strategy” (ie, whether to win or lose)

I have to say this: We’ve laughed at the militaries of other countries, like Iraq, sayign they were feckless and undisciplined because they gave up to us in droves, etc. The thing is, lacking a leader at the top a soldier can count on, why in the world would he obey an order that’s likely to get him killed? And for what? He’s far more likely then, than in other situations, to turn his weapon on the officer that is ordering him to his death. But more likely, if possible, to simply avoid taking any risks or aggressive action.
