Den Amerikanske Fremmedlegion

Bobby Bran fra Bobbys World er kommet op med en udmærket ide til på samme tid at stabilisere Afghanistan og give USA flere tropper. Der er mange fordele:

....it is an innovative and creative way to enhance the Total Force-- a buy-in of fifty US officers establishes a fully-functional infantry battalion. But it also allows us an opportunity to integrate a segment of the population that may otherwise be attracted to the "other side." It enhances opportunities for cultural training and understanding within the US Army, and it's extremely cost effective (the cost of these battalions would be anywhere from one-third to one-half of a Regular Army combat battalion). Finally, while I note that recruiting is down and deployments are up, and this proposal provides us an opportunity to optimize our national resources, I do want to note that I would endorse this proposal even if recruiting was not an issue and there was no War in Iraq or elsewhere-- this proposal just makes great strategic sense.

Bobby Bran har selv været over et år i Afghanistan med det amerikanske militær, og har fremlagt idéen ved en nylig konference blandt amerikanske officerer.
