Wow.
That's about 10% of the new volunteers that ISIS gets each month.
Do the math.
I still don't understand how ISIS can make propaganda-recruiting videos showing hundreds of black Pijama clad rabid koranimals waving their weapons in their Toyota pickups out in the open countryside or in the middle of large cities.
Target rich environment, yet drones and other intelligence fails to identify and locate them. 100 casualties would seem possible in a single strike.
Assuming the military leaders are allowed to do their jobs.
“That’s about 10% of the new volunteers that ISIS gets each month.”
Yes, it does seem low. But I think in history - 10% is a good number. To “decimate” the enemy is 10% dead (or maybe its total casualties). Not like in the movies perhaps - but its okay.
Especially when our airstrikes are no doubt more for show than anything else. I recall one newscast where it said something like “The U.S. launched 8 airstrikes over the weekend, with several armored vehicles hit, and confirmed 3 ISIS casualties.”
