Indeed, though ethnic divisions can undermine military cohesion, a full appreciation of them can lead to a more robust and stable security environment. Kurds in Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region, for example, certainly feel more secure having their own soldiers, the Peshmerga, and have proven to be a better fighting force as a result.
事实上，尽管种族分裂可能破坏军事团结，但充分认识这一点可以形成更强健、更稳定的安全环境。比如，伊拉克库尔德自治区的库尔德人显然会在拥有本民族战士——Peshmerga的情况下感到更加安全，事实也证明库尔德人更能打仗。相反，不堪一击的伊拉克国民卫队被认为是应什叶派多数要求而生。
