how long have we been in Iraq? I thought we were just training their troops to take over, do they get better training than our troops

In Iraq Since 2003. The army was occupied by US forces and disbanded. So many people were killed or left. They are training with inadequate weaponry against guerrilllas who are better trained. The US gave the money for weapons to shady contractors who stole it and moved to Europe. The US contractors who were supposed to build have left now too. The entire thing is in a shambles-- the cradle of civilization is rubble and people are dying-- rivers of blood.
Only monumental diplomacy will get the US out of this-- and money and refugee status for Iraqis.

Hawk I is right! Typically training take 6-8 weeks! Ha not the case with Iraq right!!? It is so much more than training their military and who are we kidding....we don't need to train these people they are grown adults who can make decisions...I have an idea develop an acadamy taught by the Iraqis and they train the men, I mean really they are an intelligent group of people (radical but intelligent) they just choose, and that is key, choose not to be diplomatic nor rational! As the saying goes...you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink!!!!!

It relies upon on the branch of the militia he joined. The Marine Corps has a guidance depot in Parris Island, South Carolina. i'm a Marine so my answer is adapted to our guidance technique. he will attend undemanding guidance for 3 months. After this time he would be granted 10 days 'boot bypass away' wherein he can return domicile after graduation. on the top of the ten days he will return to guidance returned in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina for MCT (Marine wrestle guidance). except his MOS (Marine Occupational Speciality) is infantry. if it quite is the case he will attend ITB (Infantry guidance Battalion). If he's no longer infantry he would be in North Carolina for a month and on the top of his guidance he would be despatched to a school domicile for his MOS. it quite is everywhere in the rustic reckoning on his activity. If he's infantry he will stay in North Carolina for around 8 weeks. After graduating from the college domicile he will then be despatched to his 'duty station' that's the place he would be doing his every day activity.
