#1 this doesn't surprise me at all. Hell they haven't did a damn thing with theirc ocuntry for 10,000 years why should we expect them too wake up andd do something now?

#2 The Marines seem to have had reasonably good things to say about the ANA 203rd Corps, but they were moved elsewhere and replaced with another unit (215th), which sucks. I wonder how bad the 203rd sucked before working with the USMC for a while. And whether the 215th can be brought up to the level of semi-competence of the 203rd. It seems to me the primary mission here, as it was in Iraq, is to build competency in the local military - which is tougher than fighting the enemy on your own.
