Cool? maybe. Only it is the symbol for one of the worst armies on the planet.
Even for this area of the world, the Iraqi armed forces have an abysmal record.
They failed when they tried to side with the nazis in 1941.
They failed when they tried to attack Israel in 1948 and 1973. (plus got spanked in 1967 without asking)
They failed when they tried to attack Iran in 1980
They failed when they started the GW2 in 1990
They failed even more miserably than usual at GW3 in 2003
and to top it off, now they are well on their way to failing in the face of the Islamists.
and that’s overlooking minor tussles with Jordan and Syria in between.
Really, even for an army of that area and that culture, those armed forces have a really poor track record.
and you dear what did you know about Iraqi army history to say these poor words.
