Very cool and thanks for the inside look. Stay safe!!I believe, but don't quote me on it, that a lot of the senior officers are from the previous regime. There was a lack of experienced senior people when we first started to help rebuild their army and I believe we asked quite a few of the experienced commanders to come back, including some that had fought us both times. I'm not sure about the average rank and file, but I'm sure some of those guys were from the previous incarnation of the Iraqi army.
Stupid question which you may be can answer. Is the exisitng Iraqi army made up of those similarly employed for the previous regime? Just curious what happened to those guys...
