Interesting that it's sunni groups pushing for this, while the shia government opposes it.
The PM may not want a bunch of sunni elements joining the military and opposing Tehran's forces in the country

You're definitely from the west if you believe only military is shia or supporting iran. Even your "every day joe" average person in Iraq is pro iran. Not all, but most

Can't wait to die for politicians who have time and time again sold the country away!

I’m not Iraqi so can’t relate how you feel (sorry), but wouldn’t it be helpful to increase the diversity of military grunts, some who will stay and work up the chain to then influence actual military and government decisions? Would help counter the heavily Iranian backed Shia proxies and influence.
