"How are these hypothetical 50-60k troops supposed to get into Iraq or Syria? How are they going to feed themselves?"

Didn't the Mongols drink the blood of their horses or something, until they found villages to plunder? Didn't Quantrell's raiders live off the land?
Oh, wait; Syria started with a drought. There's nothing to plunder.

Check with some of the vets, but, for some reason, I'm thinking it takes like 8 support people/warrior.
