#1 Oh yeah, recruiting down 25% (they'll not even talking retention for the second - third reups) and you still posting troops around the world while your southern border is being overrun.

#5 Do we even need to ask? Another invasion, military intervention, police action, coup, cooperation activities, they'll come up with a new name for it. And it will keep happening.

Hey, remember when the US trained all those South Americans and they went back home and started torturing people? Good times, good times.

Post hoc ergo prior hoc Fallacy. A government in South America will not 'reward' an up and coming officer with a cushy 'educational' tour if they an enemy of the ruling junta. Besides the thought that the Spanish would need anybody to teach them about torture and vicious counterinsurgency is laughable. Bastinado was favorite down there and they invented it all on their own.

#8 Shining Path was a genocidal, revolutionary Maoist guerilla army. After tolerating them for years, the Peruvians destroyed them quickly w/o our help.
