Iraqi CH-4B Drone Goes on Islamic State Killing Spree
Published 3 years ago
An Iraqi CH-4B drone goes on an absolute rampage in Iraq, destroying Islamic State fighters and vehicles at the cyclic rate. Too bad we didn't manage to get Afghanistan to this point.
The Iraqi Army, Peshmerga, and PMU groups were fully capable of defending themselves from the Islamic State with very little interference from the American Military. While we did step in to assist our allies on the ground in Syria, for the most part, the Iraqis were capable of cleaning up the mess caused by the early withdrawal of American troops by Barrack Obama. So, what's the difference between Iraq and Afghanistan?
Pretty straight forward answer actually. In one hundred years, we never would have gotten the government of Afghanistan to where we got the government of Iraq. The primary difference here is simple. The Iraqi people were one nation of people. They did have ideological and religious differences which made uniting them pretty difficult, but Afghanistan is on a whole different level because of their tribal allegiances. Add on top of this the difficulty in transiting the nation of Afghanistan due to an absolute absence of basic infrastructure, and you can see why Iraq was far different than Afghanistan when we finally reached our end state.
