Ive heard somewhere that the Iraqi military desertion rate is somewhere ..

like 80%.. anyone else hear this?
if this number is anywhere close to being true that i a VERY scary thought... so we train them... to fight like us... then they quit.... just to fight us... like the way we trained them????

1. I heard it yesterday.

But I don't know where. TV maybe. Information overload!

2. I heard that too, but

the reports I have heard from Iraq dont support that. They know that the quickest way to get us to leave is to get strong enough to take care of themselves. Also, there arent many jobs available, so they are signing up for the pay as well.
