Can't win when a war with a force that never signed up to fight a war in the first place. It's also really hard to convince someone to be the sacrificial speed bump when literally everyone around them is also running away.

The best performing Iraqi units were the Federal Police and local militias because they had a protective ideology to rally around and encourage personal sacrifice.
