I won't be surprised if half of the personnel have never killed anyone.
Even if that were true it probably wouldn't matter much considering ISIS doesn't have anywhere near the firepower to match them. I think you're seriously overestimating ISIS, dude. If ISIS knew what was good for them they'd keep their butts in the ME where they're good at hiding from us and everybody else who wants them dead. I honestly laughed my ass off when I read that they claimed they're coming for Rome next. Their arrogance will only hasten their fall.

Italy is a leading country in terms of peacekeeping operations, as well as being part of Operation Enduring Freedom, so probably.
They also have what ISIS doesn't; professional military training. The only reason ISIS can be considered a threat is because of their guerilla tactics and their integration within the region of Iraq.
If they were to ever engage a professional standing army in pitched warfare, them and their shitty equipment would be annihilated.

Of course they can't.Though they can easily defeat Italy's army (wait... What army? 😂 ) in a matter of hours.
They'd get blown up off the water before any significant regiment ever crossed the Mediterranean sea. French warships and aerial support is less than an hour away from Italy.

The constant downplaying of ISIS by the left and people who think they are no threat is what has allowed them to do whatever they want.People here still drinking the koolade that they are just JV..
There is the opinion and then there is the military. Nobody wants ISIS to seem like an stoppable force to the public opinion, because that's partly how they manage to recruit more stray youngs into commiting terrorist acts. This doesn't mean you don't use your logistic and firepower to undo them, you have to fight the propaganda front as well as the physical war.
Singing their praises even in a sh_tty public forum like this is counterproductive, they actually recruit the stray youngs from the internet.
So I agree you should bash Robtard but in PMs biscuits
