Interesting read. I did not know that ISIS was taking out M1A1 Abrams with impunity in Iraq.

Lets just nuke them from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

"The New York Times quoted a U.S. official..."

Sounds suspicious.

Great hardware is dependent on good tactics and good maintenance - neither are strongpoints of Mid-East peoples.

They are probably using our own weapons they looted from other military bases against our tanks.

Carafano said that there is no way to prevent weapons and ammunition from falling into the wrong hands in the Middle East. And international efforts to try to choke off the flow of weapons to radical groups in the end are largely futile.

If that is the case, then why are we even bothering to give these countries our weaponry? I think we should change strategies and move from giving bombs and missiles to the middle east and simply just dropping them on the middle east.
