Plus, an added bonus to military training….the local sometime shoot back keep all on their toes.

Yep. I saw that coming a couple of years ago, and was laughed at for saying so. Well, surprise, surprise, surprise!

I'm sure they've already made deals with the Taliban, for when the government in Kabul finally goes kaboom.
