    It’s 7 years since I started coming regularly to Iraq. Once upon a time I needed a VIP escort from Baghdad airport. Today I just grabbed a taxi to my hotel. Nightlife’s been booming for a while; now the checkpoints are disappearing & the blast walls coming down 🎉

    Also lets be honest, the SDF was not the largest contributor to the fight against ISIS, that would be the Iraqi army, the SDF only gets most of the credit in media because of their ties with America. Iraqi army worked alongside forces hostile to America while SDF refused to.
