#1 Is someone there to scoop up the senior commanders, or did we telegraph what we were going to do on purpose so they'd have a chance to bug out and leave the guys carrying guns to die?

#4 No blocking force ?

Probably not, if they're running in the direction of Syria.

#5 Probably not, if they're running in the direction of Syria

Probably about 260-280 miles away. The town is about 25 miles WNW of Baghdad near what was Camp Donnica. Another sh*thole that was a very nasty place for our forces.

#6 Doesn't ISIS execute fighters who desert in combat? Or does that only apply to the cannon fodder?
