I heard rumbling on the way into work. Sounds like the Push for Mosul is really underway. My Prayers are with the soldiers throwing those Daesh Assholes out. I care not what faith. Daesh are Religious Thugs.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - My Wife had swtiched cars on me while it was parked at work (she needed the dodge caravan van and left the Dodge Challenger) and I did not have the set of keys with me since she drives it most of the time (That is how I was able to convince her to agree to the car). My Wife was 2 hours away at her Indian Reserve and I asked my night Supervisor there if he could find someone to take me home to retrieve my set of keys to get home. My sup introduced me to a man named Muhammed who was from Niger. I was apprehsive at first but it worked out. The man actually was very nice to me. He even knew about Central American politics. He refused to take my $20 I offered for gas money. He said Islam is about Charity and he said his charity would come back to him many times over later. My wife's Canadian Native Culture thinks alike to Islam when it comes to helping others. Muhammed helps with the loading of the trailers leaving our center. He says hello to me ever time I see him.

Can hardly wait to see how that works out for the Iraqis. After their dismal start some time back, and after being hyped by US military big-wigs, their performance left a lot of egg on a lot of faces and a lot more to be desired. Maybe we have inflated them enough this time to actually do something.

It is so sad to see what has happen to that place, sense I was last there in 2011. The Mosul area was one of the most stable areas when we left. I went up a visited some of our offices up there, and when we went out in some places you didn't need KIT, unlike when we were still driving and working around Baghdad.
Best of luck to them, and I fell the problem will come after it is all done. The Kurd's will have know say in governing and it will be Sunni, unfortunately turning it over to proxy Iran Government.
