It appears that on Monday, 10/20/14, the United States Military dropped 28 bundles of supplies to citizens in Iraq and Syria, however, one of those bundles landed into the hands ISIS.
These bundles were equipped with antibiotics, anesthetics, sanitary supplies, bandages, hand grenades, mortar rounds and other supplies. This is one of the reasons why I oppose supplying the opposition with weaponry, because they are too easily accessible to ISIS. Over the weekend, I read a story where ISIS now has 3 fighter jets and are being trained by Iraqi pilots. This type of action "ticks" me off!! The U.S. is spending OUR money, using OUR supplies, using OUR military to assist citizens and their governments in these countries; trying to destabilize and destroy OUR and their enemies too, and this happens. This is why I am so reluctant for our military to go into harms way. Our strategy, or coalition building does not guarantee that the Kurdish troops, Iraqi or Syrian opposition will not throw down their weapons, and join the enemy. Does loyalty even exist anymore?
It appears that no matter what we do, how much we give, how much blood, sweat and tears are lost, these forces will ALWAYS be at odds with us. If they can't unite with each other, how exactly can we expect them to HONESTLY unite with us, who are defending their country, and liberties (those they do have), if they continue to throw down their weapons and RUN?
