Ken, it will get worse before it gets better. The Birmingham area has some serious problems as do Montgomery,and Mobile.....I tired to tell them


Surferbeetle yes shoot, move and communicate still applies and incidentally much of what President Obama is doing is what General Gavin suggested years ago. Central America and South America are our neighbors and could be our greatest allies if we acted right towards them...we shall see.

Slap,

I am in agreement, Latin America is an interesting place and given the demographics of the US we could certainly do better. From the human terrain vantage point there are many layers and much history to consider. Some interesting relevant acronyms include OAS, UNASUR, and CARICOM. The President is wise to engage this region, and his most recent effort has started things moving.

Wilf,

The beauty of 'shoot, move, & communicate' is that is the essence of soldiering distilled. Beyond this trinity ( ) memorizing lists of skills, as opposed to learning and using them, has limited effectiveness As the US Military rediscovers that we do indeed need to be able to effectively communicate in foreign languages I am heartened...there are many countries that I have been to in which their soldiers were/are able to speak two or more languages and it would be of benefit to require this of all our NCO's, WO's, and Officers.

Best,

Steve
