    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.
