The hand-wringers and naysayers in Washington would like you to believe that the Iraqi people are not interested in or are too scared to defend their nation. Of course the MSM (mainstream media) won't bring you the stories that prove those assertions to be flawed so we must look to The US Defense Department's own website for the skinny. Here is an excerpt:

"I want to serve my country and fight the terrorists," he said through a translator. Ali Kadhun said he graduated from a military college in 1979 with a bachelor's degree in military science. He returned to school to study law shortly after his release from the army in 2003.
