Assertion Partly supported
Pruden: Half of 30,000 Iraqi soldiers defending Mosul were ghost soldiers
“The 30,000 soldiers that were supposed to be defending Mosul, only 15,000 of them were actually physically present. The other 15,000 were just ghost soldiers with the commanders collecting their paychecks.”

Insight
Pruden: Centralized record systems fail when institutions are corrupt
“The problem in this case was not that there was no system of record keeping. So USA to the Iraqi army, there was a system of record to keep track of what went where. The problem was, it was just so hopelessly corrupt as to be completely untrustworthy.”
