These are our "allies"

     This writer is old enough to remember the war in Vietnam as an adult and to have had friends who served in the military in Vietnam.
     At that time it was a given that much of the Army of South Vietnam was not up to the standard in training and dedication as the U.S. Army and Marine Corps. But in the memory of this writer there were few instances (if any) of blue on green shootings. And the ARVN tried to make their soldiers an effective and disciplined force. The ARVN soldiers seemed to believe is something even if they were not all that great about fighting against the NVA.
     Apparently the same does not hold true in Afghanistan. One, after watches the first video, makes one wish the U.S. Marine Corps trainers has the power (as does the French Foreign Legion and Russian Army) to physically beat up slackers and idiots.

    And apparently the police force is made up of five-year old children:

     This writer is coming to the opinion that the reason that Alexander the Great and the British Army left Afghanistan is due to the fact that the Afghanis are complete idiots.
