[QUOTE="susiedriver, post: 73793, member: 1848"] Danny, Quite clearly the troops aren't trained properly if they can't be trusted to follow orders without carrying out some tribal grudge. The only reason the Iraqi troops fought at all in Tal Afar is beacause it was a Kurdish battalion battling Sunni Turkmen, they hate each other anyway. It is our problem because we own the hell hole, for at least the time being. I believe Colin Powell referred to it as the 'Pottery Barn Rule'. [/QUOTE]
