TRAINING YOUR ENEMIES

Reader comment on item: Innocents Abroad Build Foreign Armies
in response to reader comment: Corporate profits from training

Submitted by JACQUES HADIDA (United States), Feb 14, 2013 at 19:48

The U.S does not learn and will not learn, even after being killed by the people it trains.

We are dealing with an abnormal situation, the four areas you mention, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Mali and the Palestinian Authority are all Muslim. And sadly there is no respect for the infidel, that we will always be , regardless of how much help we provide them.

And we keep insisting on modernizing them to male them a democracy, forget it!

When will America wake up and learn that it is a waste of time, money and energy. Am sad to say all this, but I go by what I see happening every day of our life

Thanks Daniel for keeping us all alert
