Well when I get called a Putin cock sucker by a politically ignorant asshole it doesn't sit well with me. So instead of tomorrow I am going to put this out here tonight.
We trained the Chechen right hand man of Baghdadi. ISIS Military Commander was apparently a star pupil of ours.
I had always recognized him as a brilliant military leader. But not that we had trained him.
SPECIAL. FUCKING SPECIAL. ARE WE INSANE?
One of ISIS' top commanders was a 'star pupil' of US-special forces training in the country of Georgia
Aside from ISIS' 'caliph' Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the Georgian ex-commando Omar al-Shishani might be the most recognizable and popular of the powerful militant group's leaders.
Sporting a recognizable red beard and happy to pose for photos, Shishani has acted as a very public face for some of ISIS' most notorious successes.
It was Shishani who posed with the stolen US Humvees that ISIS had seized from Mosul and brought back into Syria.
And it was Shishani who had led successful ISIS military campaigns throughout Syria as well as a blitz through western Iraq that put the group within 100 miles of Baghdad.
These military successes are not simply the result of any innate military capabilities. Instead, Shishani spent years conducting military campaigns against the Russians, first as a Chechen rebel and then as a soldier in the Georgian military.
During Shishani's four years in the military, from 2006 to 2010, his unit received some degree of training from American special forces units.
“He was a perfect soldier from his first days, and everyone knew he was a star,” an unnamed former comrade who is still active in the Georgian military told McClatchy DC. “We were well trained by American special forces units, and he was the star pupil.”
