Hope this guy was ok in the end
Hoping this guy recovered without any issues :oops:
 
All photos are of ISOF Golden Division. Its the most known unit of the Iraqi army because they are really secular. They have a good mixture of people. Iraqi Kurds, Sunnis, Shia, Yezidis... pretty much representing the Iraqi population in contrast to most army units which are majority shia soldiers. They are also really battle hardened and were one of the few units which did not run away when IS advanced towards Baghdad and took a lot of casualties ( some estimates say 50% of the unit fell during the battle of mosul). I have the highest respect imaginable towards these soldiers.
