I like it.. A well balanced article, a lot of SF PR, It covers our core ideas,,

"Train Indigenous Personal in the Art..."

Quote:
U.S. Special Forces in Afghanistan are involved in an ambitious project to turn thousands of Afghan soldiers into commandos. The effort to create an elite fighting force is part of the broader counterinsurgency strategy that U.S. military officials say is key in helping stabilize Afghanistan.
We need more of this type of military assistance and a little less SERGE,, in most instances..

SERGE is the only answer sometimes, but it is not helping USA PR in the Middle-East or at home..

Outside of the maga-rich oil guys, the Muslim world needs basic 3R education combined with structured political & military training.

Quote:
Nearly 40 percent of the soldiers entering the commando program are illiterate, but there are night school courses at the camp where future commandos can learn to read and write.
The illiterate have a chow line mentality, "feed me and I will follow", no mater who or what is the driving force.

Educate them and they will start to make their own religious, political, social, and chow line choices..
