"We can give them training, we can give them equipment -- we obviously can't give them the will to fight," Carter said. "But if we give them training, we give them equipment, and give them support, and give them some time, I hope they will develop the will to fight, because only if they fight can ISIL remain defeated."

They are not used to fighting. They are used to sitting back and letting us handle the fight for them while they watch and complain about us.
