No. Equipment, tactics, techniques, and procedures often are. Additionally, many of the laser-guided bombs are often less precise, depending on the point in development of the guidance package. So anything we could just "leave" with the kurds (recognizing that anything we leave is subject to capture by bad actors) would likely of necessity only be interfaceable with the munitions less likely to be effective against small, moving targets.
No. I happen to know a little bit of what I am talking about, which is why I know that your simplified answer does not actually meet the requirerments.
So, by the way, do two US Secretaries of Defense and a line-up of US Generals, which is why they are saying similar things.
Generals only care about winning battles and often we end up losing the war. If we are all alone we will lose again and the Generals will have more wars to play with. Obama does not want to play. We need a strategy to stabilize the region not just win battles.
