Interesting read. Thank you.

The considered comments of foreign military professionals is always so revealing about the observer and the observed. I was impressed with their focus on our development of human material as a critical component to our war-fighting posture. The stock, dismissive comment typically includes something about a technological reliance. Not here.

The carefully inculcated position of the political officer was visibly challenged in the minds of these officers. If their comments are to be believed then it's fair to assume that these officers recognize the quality of our airmen/women absent sloganeerism and political mobilization.

I really don't think that others understand just how extensively developed is our military education system.
