#4 "Joan Baez Commandos" Moose, ya beat me! ;)

JAIDEEP MAZUMDAR:According to the Americans, the US army has very little training in jungle warfare and anti-insurgency operationsâthe only such combat school closed down nearly a decade ago. Points out Lieutenant Colonel Marcus of the Guam National Guards: "Here (at
the CIJWS), we have relearnt the lessons that were drawn from Vietnam."

Marine, Army, AF, Navy... "Recon, Rangers, Commandos, SEALS all train jungle warfare skool.

The US soldiers training at the school were also sent to nearby villages to conduct mock operations there. "The villagers are paid handsomely and are happy to participate in the mock exercises. The students are tasked with raiding the village, questioning the people, searching the houses and flushing out terrorists hiding there. Live ammunition is never used for obvious reasons during these mock exercises, but it allows the students to get a feel of real-life situations they will encounter in actual anti-terror operations," Bawa told Outlook.

That would be nice to try in some of our small friendly cities, but no DOD attorney would permit it. Not too mention the thundering herd of civilian ~~lawyers~~ ambulance chasers, moonbats & MSM asshats sweeping into those cities like carpet bagging Cossacks. recall Oakland ca.
