Comments on: Pentagon to Use Hezbollah Model to Train Georgian Military? http://rokdrop.com/2008/09/13/pentagon-to-use-hezbollah-model-to-train-georgian-military/ Korea From North to South Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:59:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: CalmSeas http://rokdrop.com/2008/09/13/pentagon-to-use-hezbollah-model-to-train-georgian-military/comment-page-1/#comment-220574 CalmSeas Sat, 13 Sep 2008 23:27:16 +0000 http://rokdrop.com/?p=9277#comment-220574 Have talked to guys that were on these MTTs...they were nothing but the usual SF MTT w/plenty of per diem & parting...training was only secondary, as it is with most SF MTTs. SF just likes to concentrate on the "High Speed" options anyway. The Georgians are some hard troops, but seriously out of their league when confronting the Russians. If we really want to train them up, then we need to skip the SF mindset & go with a conventional training option. Right now there is recruitment for a civilian contractor MTT heading over there...sounds like another State Department "Touchy Feel Good" lark.
