#1 Much as we'd appreciate the help, y'all might want to think about deploying them in Venezuela instead.

Just sayin'....

#2 Sounds like it might be a way for Uribe to get some modern training for his troops, just in case it might come in handy back home.

#3 They got plenty of training and significant combat experience. Been doing a little COIN of their own for a few ~~decades~~ years.

#4 Yeah, they already have practice and training from work at home. What they would gain is experience working in concert with the US/NATO. Something that will no doubt come in handy when the Great Venezuelan Turkey Shoot & Popcorn Fest is held.
