Inner City Soldiers?
"The Frontier Corps’ problems have little to do with weapons and training, and U.S. troops recruited largely from the inner cities and trained for conventional warfare have little to teach rugged Pashtun hillmen about fighting in their own mountains in any case."
I'm shocked by the ignorance displayed in the above comment. If Mr. Johnson shows up here I'd love to read an elaboration of this comment. I would expect a more nuanced and perceptive understanding of our forces stationed along that border and those most likely to be called upon to train the F.C., were that to happen.
That aside from the gross stereotypes on display that read terribly poorly and indefensibly. "Inner cities" reads as P.C. racist code. "trained for conventional warfare" is ignorant of light infantry operating behind seven years of continuous combat and multiple tours.
Those F.C. would be privileged to be trained by damn near any of those light infantrymen. Personally, I'll hope not. We owe the F.C. and I'd prefer U.S. infantry to shoot the worthless fcuks on sight.
Stunningly weak.
