Maybe I was unclear but I have never done a FID mission, that is pretty much why I was writing I am just looking for some other outlooks on this type of mission.
I would say that I got a pretty good exposure to the actual people living in the AO. I know quite a few of the people, ie thier kids names, what they do for a livining etc. Also quite a few of the people in the AO know my name.
Also, I personally do not see them as some kind of lower life form. Jundie just means soldier/private its not derogatory, its like Haji we were told that "oh thats bad never use that word" when it actually means respectful old man. I never will trust these guys totally (there is no vetting) but for the most part we treat these guys as equals. I mean we were doing Triage the other day on a mass casualty we had after a mortar attack and IA were getting on birds before US.
