#1 I don't think Daesh can play with the big boys.

when they come up against an armor brigade of American's finest, it will be a rout...maybe a meat grinder.

#2 I read an article that reported that hard-core ISIL militants were beheading smokers, because they were violating a Koranic scripture by effectively committing "slow suicide".

They were also destroying seized stockpiles of cigarettes.

So - all we need to do is fly cargo planes over ISIL territory, dropping packs of cigarettes - and let the loony militants slaughter their own nicotine addicts.

#3 hard-core ISIL militants were beheading smokers

#8 The unit headed to Kuwait is Fort Carson’s heaviest force, armed with tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles. Many of its soldiers are veterans of one or more of the brigade’s previous combat tours in Iraq.

Theater.

#9 What I have to ask, with all respect to the troops involved, will they be allowed to actually fight with loaded weapons or will it be more of the suicidal "don't offend anyone" ROE?

Or is it up to Susan "the liar" Rice?

#11 This is the brigade force that should have been kept there all along.
