My dear Gour,
I think you misunderstand me.
First, Iraqis, Kuwaitis and Afghan are not a race. In fact, scratch Kuwaitis because we rarely dealt with any true Kuwaitis. They are many different races.
This is nonsense. It's like catching someone saying "I hate Chinese people, can't fucking stand them." And then you call them out on it and they say "Well, there are the Hans, the Manchurians, etc; there really is no such thing as Chinese."
You could say the same thing about Whites, Blacks, Filipinos... There is no such race as "Filipino," there's dozens of different genetic races from Malays, Ilocanos, Visayans, Pampangans...
It's a silly cop out of what you said earlier.
Second, my opinion of those folks are based on daily interactions with them
You mean as a uniformed invader?!
and, no, I did not particularly like many of the ones I dealt with. For personal and professional reasons. Until you have been there, in that time and place, I would say that your opinion is ill-informed. You can dislike people without hating their "race." I didn't dislike them because they are Arab, Pashtun, Uzbecki, Persian etc., etc. I disliked some because they were dishonest and venal. If you have been there, then we have a disagreement of opinion.
....
And ISIS is a bunch of savages. I have seen first hand what those types of people are capable. They gleefully murder children. So, I stand by it. They are savages, barbarians and warrant extermination. Whether they be Arab, Pashtun, French, Austrian or Tunisian; once they raised the black standard they were marked for death.
.... I'll let your comments about wanting to go back to kill folks stand on their own.
