| #4 The thing is, an American-style army only works when the troops work as a cohesive whole. Where it might turn out to have been a bad idea to train them, they won't be able to effectively use the skills against us anyway. |

| #3 Could backfire. Or, it could prove to be one element in a rebuilt Liberia. A professional army is a big step forward from warlords using ragged kids to kill other kids. |

| #1 Is this really a good idea? Training foreign armies with good U.S. techniques? What happens when they get used against us? |
