Quote . “This is revolutionary” -- building democracies and helping them establish capitalist economies and open and public police forces and judicial systems, Sepp pointed out. assistant professor of defense analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School, in Monterey, Calif.


Wonder if thats what George Washington had in mind over 200 years ago.
Funny how things come full circle and how easy we forget lessons learned from the past.

Perhaps some of you might want to google Kalev Sepp before you have to put on kevlar socks. Sepp knows this stuff inside and out and was probably quoted either out of context or was dumbing down the conversation to reach the conventional part of the audience.

I agree.

Gunner Sepp is good people.

Either misquoted or taken out of context.
