All flights stopped Baghdad International Airport after rocket attack- workers flee
Looks like its going to be Saigon II
If I was ISIS, I would be moving my armored divisions (the tanks they captured) to that airport now. Iraq’s air capability is poor, and Tehran would take a while to scramble any response. Once the airport is captured, they can jack a jet and fly it into Baghdad central.
missions like these is why we have a 75th Ranger Regiment, to clear and hold airports. Just a matter of will to use them. Also, we could hold the Green Zone with Marines if we needed to. I really don’t think anyone is going to mind us blasting ISIS off of the planet.
