I will guess as long as they have "someone" one their watch they don't care.
My cousin was in and out of there for a few years and they are only concerned for themselves. He had many "trainiees tell him (my cousin is from Nevada) "I don't want to leave my family (basically to go maybe 200 miles from thier family).... yeah, they can't or don't want to protect themselves as long as we are there......its too much for them, too much corruption.
That's not really accurate or fair.
First, the Iraqi military and police force has taken far more casualties than anyone else over here.
Second, and more importantly, you have to understand what was going on over here. Men didn't want to leave their families for fear the terrorists will find their families and kill them when they are away.
It's getting better, but we'll see if the recent election re-energizes our enemy.
