Battle For Mosul
 
Watching the FrontLine program on this right now (wonders of DVR :) )

It is what every reasoning and reasonable person knew what it was going to be, brutal, tough, street by street, house by house urban fighting. Just like Fallujah.

Still, better that the Iraqi army is doing it rather than just US forces, i.e. their own country man knowing of the customs and language.

I wish them the best and great success in their mission.
 
It must be a bit awkward for the US/SOF working with Iraq's elite Golden Division to recapture Mosul after Trump banned all Iraqi's from entering the United States.

I doubt it, because those elite Iraqi troops understand why he did it and they're the ones putting their lives on the line to do something about it.

I seriously doubt the Golden Divisions gives two ****s either way given the major operational endeavor they have to look forward to in retaking Mosul.

If they didn't give two ****s, they wouldn't be members of Iraq's most elite unit.

The Golden Division was formed long before Trump's ban. I doubt that is at the top of any of their list of concerns.
