This is apparently what US-imposed "democracy" in action looks like.

Poster Comment:

Next time a soldier gets drunk in town move him to a prison where the US can;t find him. Soldiers will want to leave if they are subject to arrest. The Iraqi police can start investigating war crimes. See some pilots off base, arrest them. Need to know if they were bombing the Iraqi Army which now includes the Popular Militia.

Are there any there that actually don't want to leave?

Start arresting them for being drunk in public. Scare them with Sharia law. Scare pilots with war crimes investigations. They want to leave. Morale is bad according to a recent survey. But pilots are a premium. Can't afford to lose them. The US needs to get out.

Back around 2011 or so, after that Blackwater disaster where US mercenaries shot up a street thinking they were under attack killing about 15, only for it to be revealed there were no insurgents to be found, Iraq revoked criminal immunity for US personnel and Obama had to pull them out. Those guys were tried in US courts for what happened that day. Some got jail time.

The hubris piles ever higher. Translation of headline: Israel's junkyard dog snaps at countries trying to fend it off".

US should take this opportunity to "gracefully" extricate the military from this endless tar-baby mess.
