#1 Why the fuck were they still there after US was supposed to cripple ISIS. Makes me wonder how effective we've been in the air war during Afghanistan and during the Iraq war insurgency.

#5 OK, another question for you ex-military guys: shooting up 500 oil trucks that are lined up that way, why would you try to pick them off one-at-a-time the way the Russkies seem to in the video? (Also, the Russians' accuracy didn't seem to be pin-point. Any thoughts on that?) Wouldn't you either run down the line with an A-10, spewing depleted uranium shells, or cluster-bomb the lot, rendering them useless if not completely destroying them?

#6 Why ... after US was supposed to cripple ISIS. Your main mistake was in supposing that was (or is) the purpose of US air actions.
