Pray for the Warriors that are boots-on-deck in Mosul. I have several Marine Brothers with the YPG and Peshmerga over there right now. Semper Fi!

The peshmerga seem to be the only focused people in the fight

That's so sad because just thinking if you had a United Kurdistan that didn't want to blow up places in Turkey you could have turkey action allowed them to have Independence but because they are not United it's going to be next to Impossible.

At least I'm not the only one who's seen this. Those guys/gals have got some serious guts and determination.

SrA Mike VanDeMark - then actually see this but I was stationed in kirkuk in 2004 5 inside a PRT fob Warrior and I did get to meet the generals Turk who was American Curtis $0.02 he spoke Spanish English Arabic word and he can't because he could speak Spanish who is married to a Mexican American so it's kind of funny anyway that was my experience and now they do and they're ready for it.

These people are going to need a lot more than prayers if ISIL/ISIS/Daesh decides to fight them. The Iraqi Army didn't fare too well on their last much-hyped offensive backed by the US and caused a lot of politicians in DC and generals on the ground over there to crab-walk and waffle their words of explanation.

It isn't just the Iraqi Army. It is a coordinated effort with Peshmerga and US Special Forces. I have faith that they will take Mosul, then be on to Raqqa within a year hopefully
