Ba'th soldier : an analysis of the Saddam-era Iraqi warfighter by Matthew Yalch
"The purpose of this chapter was to describe the psychology of the Saddam-era Iraqi soldier by building on what has been discussed so far with respect to Iraqi history, culture, and society, and factoring in the additional influence of the military institution that separates the mind of an Iraqi soldier from that of the common Iraqi citizen. What is unique about the Middle Eastern society relative to Western society is how readily the former�s citizen can be successfully integrated into a total institution with which so many Westerners find great internal disagreement.
