there are already 3200 boots on the ground, it's been a reality for months

however, the phrase is currently being used to indicate no ground troops will be used in combat operations, outside of JSOC and the special forces legion.

I'm torn between hating violent religious fascists and supporting western intervention that seeks to maintain its influence in the region. I don't want to be a pawn in someone else's geopolitical chess game, but dear lord those zealots are bastards.

Militants with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group publicly killed a rights lawyer in the Iraqi city of Mosul after their self-styled Islamic court ruled that she had abandoned Islam, the U.N. mission in Iraq said Thursday.

Samira Salih al-Nuaimi was seized from her home on Sept. 17 after allegedly posting messages on Facebook that were critical of the militants' destruction of religious sites in Mosul.

According to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq, al-Nuaimi was tried in a so-called "Sharia court" for apostasy, after which she was tortured for five days before the militants sentenced her to "public execution."

It's a division headquarters unit being deployed to help coordinate the already present special ops and Iraqi forces. I assure you a bunch of HHC/HHD guys aren't going to be doing shit even remotely called combat lol.

[mallister]

Are we talking 3200 boots or 3200 pairs of boots.

[Andalusian girls]

heh, 1600 dudes wearing two boots a piece, officially. probably a few hundred more as most special ops deployments aren't publicly stated but miscellaneous observers in Iraq and Kurdistan are reporting increased sightings of individuals who are almost assuredly JSOC and SAS and CIA.

can amputees serve in non-combat roles, like desk duty? cos that could throw off the boot count.
