I think there's a big difference between what an army will do when its survival is at stake and what they'll do to take someone else's land back for them. So I doubt YPG would be all that eager to sacrifice many lives to retake Tikrit.

The YPG's tactics in Kobane also show that suicide bombing per se isn't some cowardly or evil act, but a strategy peoples take up when conventional military means fail them.

Very true, Kurds have no interest in Tikrit. We were just discussing the scenario that if they did, they would put up a better fight(possibly) than Iraqi army

Was interesting reading about terrorist being killed by IEDs and suicide bombings. Just not used to seeing them getting a taste of their own medicine.
