Agreed. They will also have to govern as well which I highly doubt they are capable of.

It will be interesting to see how the offensive in the spring to retake Mosul goes. The Kurds are a salty, but lack the resources and who the hell knows about the Iraqi army? I have read the Iraqi special forces are competent and were vital to taking back the Mosul Dam last August. If history tells us anything Arab armies are a joke.

Iraqi special forces were trained by seals and marsof so they should be well trained.
