    Default Why does US military have a mixed record building up foreign armies in weak states?

    Thanks to MWI @ West Point for the pointer to this article in JFQ and from MWI's pointer:
    This highlights a substantial problem with Western SFA: it is too focused on building an army in the absence of a viable state that has the institutional capacity and political willpower to sustain that army.
