Conscious of widespread anti-war sentiment, the government has sought to portray the deployment as a “non-combat” mission. Key said the troops would be stationed at Camp Taji, north of Baghdad, where they will work with Australian forces to train Iraqi army soldiers “behind the wire.” However, only 16 of the soldiers being sent are specialist trainers.
Considering that we, the USA and other nations, spent a decade training Iraqi army, and it fell apart the moment they spotted ISIS, isn't sending more people to train them rather futile excercise?
