It was NEVER stable that government and any semblance of "peace" was propped up by our U.S. Forces. There was hardly a day there wasn't at least one mass murder by suicide bomber.
Their military really sucks. Their soldiers have no spirit... certainly no esprit de corps... and after all of the training and equipment we invested in them. What a waste!
Those "1,500" could have stood and defended themselves against the inferior ISIS force.
There were also videos posted of terrorists driving down the highways and machine gunning every car they passed... great fun. One car ran off the road and a survivor was run to ground and shot after he was stopped by a large fence. The BG just walked up and shot him as he begged for his life.
It's just sickening that the rest of the peaceful and tolerant muslims put up with that sick depraved killing and violence!
All of those sick bastards should have to experience what they've done to others... lie there begging for their lives as someone does the same to them.

Thomas Jefferson said
“A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.”

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading".
