Or even that the information is passed up properly and that less-than-convenient information is not omitted. I still say that squad and fire-team levels have a long ways to go in the art and science of social interaction and elicitation performance, but I give credit for the few COs out there that do push that training (COIST teams even have a ways to go as I see firsthand every day those challenges) but I'd like to see more nations train in this space - particularly the Estonians, Dutch, and German guys I see a lot of... Interesting times we live in... Cheers Mike. //Rach
