Looks like the analysis on fall of Fallujah is similar to what Matthew Henman of IHS Jane's Terrorism and Insurgency Centre and Brian Michael Jenkins of RAND think tank have shared to international media. Do have a read here and compare against my article here. I will share article once I find a more suitable medium.
Some write for money. Some write to share. I write to share. Defence, economics, these are my fields. If I err, point out to me, so I will learn.

Young Men Die Fighting Old Men's War
There is a saying, young men die fighting old men's war. That saying can never be so true.
The recent release of 4 Sarawakian sailors by kidnap-for-ransom group (recent events and info points to possibly a different KFR group and not Abu Sayyaf Group which I will elaborate further) has reignited calls for Malaysian government to send armed combat troops into Southern Mindanao to destroy Abu Sayyaf Group. Read it here.
This also coincide with Armed Forces of Philippines deployment of 5,000 ground troops to deal with the Abu Sayyaf, which is conservatively estimated at most 500 men.

Daish - A Step Closer to Defeat
Yesterday (17 June 2016), Daish had did an unexpected turn-about. They had retreated from Fallujah. Fallujah, the ground where Daish predecessor, Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad, under the leadership of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had manipulated and fomented hatred between the Sunni and Shiah to explode. Fallujah where many US soldiers fell (an American friend's brother was amongst those killed there).

Malware Attack
One of my articles had suffered malware attack. I believe this could be a limited malware attack, probably from the photos or links to other articles.
Had wanted to share article as a remembrance on the fight against communism when I found out the article on the fight against communism has been attacked by malware. Best case scenario, I'll remove all external link. Worst case scenario, I'll copy the article to a new link.
7 Sebab Kenapa Kita Perlu Hentikan Pencarian MRCA
Dengan semua unjuran suram dari MMP dan saya, apakah maknanya untuk Malaysia?
Saya unjurkan agar kita menghentikan pencarian untuk MRCA. Hentikan semua proses untuk mencari pesawat yang terbaik kepada kami melalui tender terbuka. Jika kita teruskan dengan kaedah ini, kita hanya akan melihat pengganti dalam 4 hingga 6 tahun dari hari perjanjian itu ditandatangani.

7 Reasons Why We Need to Stop Looking for New MRCA Replacement
With all these grim outlook from MMP and myself, what does it mean for Malaysia?
I say we cut the chase and stop our search for MRCA. Stop all the pretentious process of finding the best planes available to us via open tendering. If we proceed with this, we would only see a replacement in 4 to 6 years from the day the agreement is signed.
Open Sky 'Policy'
1st of June was RMAF anniversary. What was supposed to be a happy occasion became solemn as it was purported that RMAF MiG29N, or the MiGgies as I call them would fly for the one last time, and this time. And without any suitable replacement had been identified.

The fear was slightly assuaged when RMAF top brass confirmed that the MiGgies will still be flying until further notice. It would be taken off the queue one by one.
