AFRICOM and the perception mess

[Stan]

Stan, it's the 'C' word. Continuity.

Oh yes, and you want to send out maximum number of African Americans - to take the racial edge off it all. Might not be PC, but that's the way to do it.

Strange that, the African Americans in Zaire felt that it was harder for them to get along. We don't actually employ any Americans and our support and training is governed by Geneva (UN) and what we call IMAS - International Mine Action Standards. AFRICOM should be looking at our program so we can expand (hope we don't have to wear those funky patches with our baby blue helmets )

The last thing you want to be doing is training up future well trained genocidal militias which will happen if you are not careful.

That's a tough one. The vetting process is straight forward but is dependent on the current host country government to provide information to initiate vetting.
