#2 Wonderful! And these are skills that can be transferred to civilian life, later, beyond the attitude of professionalism (as compared to the usual 3rd World bully boy soldiers) these Western-trained troops have been learning.

We're told that West Point helped make America what it is -- and now Afghanistan has its West Point (East), and Iraq is also on its way with these specialized platoons. Truly a ray of sunshine!
