Most of the news I've been reading about this is mostly comparing it to the fall of Saigon, where North Vietnam crushed the South and killed hundreds of thousands of people. What I'm wondering is how many members of ISIS are foreign fighters. I know most of the leaders are from outside the country, but I'm not sure how many of the foot soldiers are. Anyone have any resources for that?

Awakening era or not, there's still a growing divide between Sunnis and Shiites in Iraq. When their crisis era begins about 30 years from now, this could end up being a crisis civil war.
