To evaluate the Iraqi military

A TV pundit just said that.  The mission of the 300-500 Americans Obama rushed back into Iraqi last week is to evaluate the Iraqi military.  You mean after training the Iraqis for years, funding them, supplying weapons, and leaving 5000 cookie pushers in the US embassy in Baghdad we don't have a fair idea of what the Iraqi military is worth?  ??   Especially after some 30,000 Iraqi troops allowed 1000 ISIS terrorists to take Mosul away from them?  Same pundit goes on to say evaluation is  is done by data analysis. 
   No way.  To evaluate a combat unit, you inspect it.  An experienced sergeant can tell in short order whether a unit will fight effectively, or not. 
   So much for our knowledgeable media.  This pundit doesn't know squat
