Secretary of Defense Carter says the Iraqi's have lost the will to fight. For those who have fought there, do you agree?

It just proves our plan or what ever our plan is not working. But I don't believe Sen. John McCain's answer of sending 10,000 more non-combat troops is any answer either. Not even sure it would accomplish anything but put more in harms way. Do you really believe the Iraqi's really had a will to fight? Especially after we left! They most definitely have shown at times they do not.

The better question is, did they ever have the will to fight?

Nobody wants to fight for a loser, and the current government of Iraq is definitely a feckless, self-serving, loser.

I don't think they ever had it to be honest.
