    Agreed. Darnah might be interesting to watch as well. Libya was the #2 source of foreign fighter to Iraq (behind Saudi Arabia) to support AQ; but by far had the highest % per capita, with most coming from Darnah.

    "The modern COIN mindset is when one arrogantly goes to some foreign land and attempts to make those who live there a lesser version of one's self. The FID mindset is when one humbly goes to some foreign land and seeks first to understand, and then to help in some small way for those who live there to be the best version of their own self."

    The Battle of Darnah (1805) was also the first land battle fought on foreign soil by US forces after the Revolutionary War.
