The enlistees offered similar explanations for signing up.
“I want to serve our country and defend Iraq,” said one recruit.
“Patriotism ... I want to defend my country,” offered another.
After undergoing literacy tests, medical examinations, physical fitness evaluations and security screenings, eligible applicants signed contracts adorned with the Arabic header, “In the Name of God.”
The recruits were then transported by Marines from RCT-5 to a month-long boot camp in Habbaniyah staffed solely by Iraqi personnel drawn from the 1st Iraqi Army Division.
