#1 Maybe we can divert some of the military aid headed for Egypt towards the Monogolian horde. We seem to have 173 more Mongols helping us than Egyptians. They might not even funnel the weapons we by them to the Hammas either.

#3 Maybe the Mongolian troops would get a measure of respect in Fallujah. "So widespread was the panic that an unsupported Mongolian horseman could come spurring into a village, cut down dozens of persons, and drive off the cattle without anyone daring to raise a hand against him. The populace had lost the capacity for resistance." From The Life and Work of Jalal-ud-din Rumi by Afzal Iqbal, about the aftermath of the Mongol conquest of Persia and Iraq in the 13th century.

#4 Already, a group of U.S. Marines have ridden horse patrols in the Mongolian steppes alongside native troops.

Ya know, the Marine Corps Hymn is gonna need a few more verses.
