Spent the day in class for mentors and advisors to Government of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. A briefing from an Army Reserve Lt Col about Afghan history was extremely informative. He knew his subject well, but unfortunately his deployment is over and he is going home on Friday. Its the story of Afghanistan, those who have learned and can help the best end up going back to the states.
We also had a political briefing from a U.S. State Department representative. The politics of the Ministries, tribal loyalty, and corruption is astounding. Until we get the next generation of leaders with education, progress is going to be slow here.
We had a younger Afghan thank us for being in his country and that things are getting better (in Kabul). The villages are another matter.
