Great.

At this pace of training, United States Central Command Commander Gen. Lloyd Austin told a Senate committee, the U.S. “won’t reach the goal we initially established for ourself.”

Well, duh.
We shouldn't even be the fuck over there.

It's funny that ISIS doesn't need anybody to train them. All the good motivated fighters have found a way to get themselves trained. And they're fighting for the other side. The ones that are left that we are training are the fucking losers that are afraid to fight. No amount of training can help someone who has no motivation.

It's the same thing that happened in Vietnam.

The motivated ones all went with the NVA and Viet Cong.

The ARVN's were a bunch of bed wetting losers.

We tried to train them and turn the fighting over to them and what happened? They folded up like a cheap suit.
