Southern Iraq is Shia majority. That's not where all the terrorists are.
The terrorists are in the Sunni Northwestern part bordering Syria.

[@gpttech]

the terrorists who invades middle east like USA, nato and aurtralia

[@Stewie-Griffin]

yes this governorate was peaceful compared to others even more than other southern governorates

[@Juan-qu4oj]

The Sunni Triangle

Resisting foreign occupation is not terrorism.

[@ngonzales3781]

​@@mohammedkhazraji lmao so doing terrorism isnt terrorism if you have an excuse? So if you're resisting foreign occupation and you blow up a carbomb that kills 100 civilians its okay?

[@Ihateschoolsobadly]

Also want to add how funny and disturbing at the same time it is hearing that commander talk about being fired on so candidly, like eh nothin we can do mate, they kno not to really shoot us!

[@justmythyt4769]

Iraq wouldn't even be a threat to Australia 😂 so wtf you mean

@@justmythyt4769not our fault that the US started it and we had no other choice

[@American1clickout]

So in the army special forces if you shot at my unit or our unit and we could identify the position. It was your last few hours on earth everyone in that house, mud shot, tree lines or trenches. You are all dying. And yes in Afghanistan they had amazing fire positions. So fucking good you almost never knew where the fire was coming from.. at night it was easy but the fact this dude allows their men to be fired on with no forward action is the most weakest leadership I’ve ever seen. This is fucking combat, the guys we rolled with from Australia were pretty good guys. But definitely not Americans they did things differently. I’ve never been to Iraq but I did do 7.5 deployments to Afghanistan manly to the north and once down south
