Iraqi forces cut last ISIS supply line into Ramadi by retaking bridge | News , Middle East | THE DAILY STAR

Iraqi forces have cut ISIS' last supply line into the western city of Ramadi by seizing a key bridge, Iraqi officials and a military officer said Thursday. The capture of Palestine Bridge, straddling the Euphrates river in northwestern Ramadi, means Iraqi forces have the city surrounded. They will now move to clear the city of the Sunni militants one neighborhood at a time.

I think history dictates the will to fight often factors in higher than the means to fight (though they certainly aren't mutually exclusive).

South Vietnam should have taught you that.

You are comparing completely different cultures. I don't think it's that simple.
