Maybe I’m too cynical, maybe not, but I’ve been wondering if at least some of the tanks and other heavy weapons the Iraqi military abandoned were just flat-out bought? ISIS has plenty of money from the ransoms countries like France, Germany, and Spain pay them (among other countries, and they all lie about paying ransoms, fooling precisely nobody). I could easily picture at least some of them making deals with ISIS. (I wonder what “Benedict Arnold” is in Arabic…….) Otherwise, you have tank commanders getting out of their tanks to run like hell against lightly armed (by comparison) enemies. That kind of incompetence has no place in the 21st century!
Not that it matters much, considering we’re seeing a young man’s fantasy, but the Maldives have no mountains. It’s an atoll, and totally flat — flatter than southern Florida.
Unbelievable! The commenter’s of today’s strip did not see the obvious parallel between RR’s behavior and BO’s? GT’s first shot across the bow? When will the kool-aid run out?!

Everybody needs R&R now and then, even imaginary characters.

“the Maldives have no mountains” Yeah, I guess Jeff’s fantasy needs some tuneup. Maybe Becca will catch it . . .

Okay, I’m confused. The commentary isn’t lost, but isn’t the Red Rascal still living in his parents’ basement?
