I thought the purpose of OIF (Iraqi FREEDOM) was to free Iraq and allow them to protect themselves. It seems that this is a good action and they may even need more. As an instructor or advisor you can get nowhere by ridiculing youe students.
Reverse roles and see how you would react if your "advisors" constantly ridiculed and insulted you. Would you support him in the end. I wouldn't.
The old adage of having to crawl before walking is so true. If there is any single ingredient most important to sucess it is mutual respect. I have seen 100% loyal RTs (some vietnamese) and I have seen some go AWOL. Almost everytime, results could be traced right back to the attitudes of the US leaders.
