When the Sunni Non-Commisioned Officers asked their Shia Colonel's, Major's, Captain's...etc...who were getting in their cars to drive back to Baghdad ...what they should do....the Shia Officers told the Sunni Grunt's to take off their uniforms and blend in with the local communities.
THE SHIA OFFICER'S ACTUALLY TOLD THEM TO DO THIS!!!
When the ISIS came into these communities after asking where and who the Iraqi Military Men where that worked with the American's and Sunni's at first none of the Villager's said anything.
But after the ISIS started shooting to death little children such as the Grandchildren of the Village Elders...they talked and even though the Iraqi Soldier's were also Sunni...the ISIS killed them anyways.
The tragedy is that if the Shia Officers had STAYED and BEEN LEADERS OF MEN....they would have easily WIPED OUT ALL ISIS FORCES attempting to come into Iraq as they were equipped with high tech. American Weapons Systems.
I was in Iraq doing a JOB with my Team and we had just finished this JOB and were about to go home when the ISIS incident happened.
We were asked to stay and as although my Team are members of the U.S. Military and sometimes I even have Team Members who are either British or Aussie SAS....I am NOT MILITARY....am I..."CIVILIAN"...in the manner the quotes denote.
After the ISIS trapped about 40,000 Iraqis on top of Mt. Sinjar and these mostly women and children began dying as the ISIS would not allow Food or Water up the mountain my Team and I were asked to do another JOB.
We didn't have to do this JOB as we had just finished another but as I am not Military although I am Team Leader I put it to a vote...and every single member of my tired but READY TEAM VOTED TO STAY.
Or JOB was to find out exactly who and what the ISIS in Iraq were and after doing a few SNATCH AND GRABS and after a few intensive interogations we found that the ISIS numbered no more than 27,000 and were mostly Criminals and Mentally Insane that had been let out of jails and given AK-47's and RPG's and let lose upon the Middle East by some Ghost Leadership who I will not discuss.
The members of ISIS have very little to zero Military Training.
Against my Team it was as if we were shooting FISH IN A BARREL and after a week we decided to leave as we understood that the ISIS was not a real trained Military Force but rather a bunch of CRIMINALLY INSANE SOCIOPATHS AND PSYCHOPATHS that were let loose by another Group.
If those Shia Officer's had not been COWARDS and had not run away back to Baghdad....they could have Lead their Men and the ISIS would have been destroyed entering Iraq.
