Rule of Law in Iraq & Afghanistan

[carl]

I’d suggest several questions that the “You” in the scenario might ask himself (or herself, that gender less likely):

- Where am I ?

Could be Astan; could be Pstan; could be a training exercise in Texas. Let’s keep the first two and toss Texas because it would get too complicated.

- Who am I ?

Could be military (not necessarily USMC or combat arms); could be a civilian (a modern, new and improved version of Robert Komer).

- What am I doing here ?

“FID”, “COIN”, “LE”, “DA”, etc., etc.

- Why are all of us here ?

That includes separate answers for “You”, the residents of the residential compound, the Marine squad, the ANP, and the six individuals (all “part of” AQ, as “confirmed” - not as “indicated” - by intelligence).

Isn't most of this implicit in the original scenario?
