Now we know why Gen. Jones and Chief Ramsey say it’s time to trash the Iraqi National Police…

hey a friend of mine shot this with me when we were on patrol in dora district south Baghdad. yes the NP’s(national police) are very poorly trained and equipped. sometimes they don’t even get paid for months. there is alot corruption in the Iraqi state dept which is under their control. anyways shout out to Bravo company 1-35AR in Germany. BLACKJACKS!…
…But believe it or not they have tons of heart and i have seen them fight hard in combat. many of them are good guys. they have charged with us into battle many of times.
Thanks, sintax, for your insight. And I gotta tell you, I love the chuckling in the background. Keep up the good work!

Yeah nobody talks about it but when you immbed with an Iraqi Unit, you fortify against external threats (insurgents etc…) and against internal threats (the Iraqi’s that you’re with) I’ve even heard reports of Iraqi’s turning in the middle of combat so no this doesn’t surprise.
“Ahem, talk about an AD??” holy crap, that scared me for a sec!
No wonder they cant keep anyone in the police! LOL! holy crap…..when they started laughin, I was laughin’ right along w/ them!
Great Vid.!! (you think they need any “weps training”?) DW
