>I hope your friend is okay. When did you last hear from him?

About a week ago. He was actually in the mess hall in Mosul during that explosion in December when 21 soldiers were killed.

>I really hope they believe in what they are doing as much as people say they do.

He doesn't believe in it, and he says that at least half of the lower level soldiers don't either. But he respects the uniform too much to actively oppose what's going on.

He says that all he does these days is go from house to house and arrest people at night. When I asked him if many of them turned out to be guilty of anything, he didn't answer. He said that what they were doing was better than what most of the forces were doing, which was roaming around waiting to get shot at and then fighting.
