A senior official with U.S. Central Command said Thursday a force of roughly 20,000 to 25,000 Iraqis, retrained by the U.S.-led coalition, will ultimately lay siege to Mosul, likely in April or May.

I have no idea where to go with this. Hey, we are coming...make sure you eat a good meal tonight, get some sleep. We should be there at 8 AM. Hopefully you aren't at 100% ready and in defensive positions. Also, probably a good time to clear out your safe houses...like you did last time.
No ****. We might as well help them build their bunkers.
You guys and your fancy Humvees. When I was a MP we still drove these.The picture on the front of the article has the Humvees in front of a ISIS promotion. Interesting. Also, seeing the Humvees brought me to one other question. What are the services like on those vehicles? Who is doing them? Where are the parts coming from? When I was stationed in Oklahoma, we could never get parts. Even when we were in Iraq. But these guys can get parts?
Just random questions.
My fancy humvee looked a lot like your CJ(?). The real difference was we took our doors off in 2003...they made us put them back on in 2005...ha.
That right there is your trusty M151 Truck, Utility, l/4-Ton, 4×4. These things were so damn reliable. That's why they got rid of them.
Yes, those were far more easily armored than Humvees. :roll:
MPs who check IDs at bases really only need bicycles.
Here's what others are posting:
"DAMN THAT TRAITOR GENERAL MacARTHUR FOR GIVING THE JAPANESE ADVANCE NOTICE THAT HE WAS GOING TO RETURN TO THE PHILLIPINES GIVING THEM ADVANCE NOTICE!!!"
Stupid old guys fixed at ranting because that's the only thing they do.
The level of stupidity in the government gets more astounding literally, by the day.
You don't give the enemy advanced notice of when you plan to attack!

Democrats / Liberals / Progressives are not only poor leaders, they are especially poor military leaders.
They don't believe in operational security unless it's something bad they themselves did.
Stupid, stupid, stupid. Are there any past mistakes that this Obama administration isn't willing to repeat?
`
I don't see the sense in announcing an attack UNLESS one wants so start a prolonged war whereby the president and congress (which hasn't really objected to this announcement) wish to enrich the industrial military complex.
