With all of the manpower, expertise and money you would think the US would be able to properly train a lot more Iraqi soldiers but the terrorists somehow seem to be able to round up the people, the supporters and the weapons with a lot less. The longer this drags on, the more I think this is mirroring the situation in South Vietnam where the government made it official policy to perform poorly in combat because otherwise the US and the money would pull out and leave.
Considering the US history with out-of-sight-out-of-mind they might be right. With all of the money being thrown into Iraq by the US, what is the incentive for the Iraqis to do the fighting? As it stands today, the Iraqi government also has the benefit of blaming the US for everything that goes wrong, so why would they want to change that? These guys have local power, plenty of money and a scapegoat. Why change?
