    I sure hope your right, but we did not just give them stuff and tell them to figure it out, we trained them for 20 years, with the most experienced soldiers in the world. It’s obviously a motivation and culture issue, so maybe after they realize how shit things have gone they may make a change, but I am not holding my breath.

      We gave them that training. They didn’t earn it. They didn’t seek it, nothing. And because it wasn’t something that they earned, they squandered it.

      We’re enabling them. We’re not doing the most helpful thing by giving them all this hardware and training. The most helpful thing would be sending them a bunch of LSD microdose pills.
