Slide 50 - Get the kids into schools - its the only long term solutions.
The importance of this cannot be understated. educated people are so much better equipped to find alternatives to the jihad narrative, they are better able to support themselves, and regardless of the traditional warrior ethos that permeates Afghan culture solid education and future employment will trump an AK-47 in more cases then not.

Respect, caution, Marines exemplifying how truly honorable men act. Extremely powerful and something the Afghans have rarely (if ever)seen before.

I hope this slide show is seen by the Taliban. Would't it be nice if they began to mimic the tactics?
Semper fi, devil dogs! The presentation shows you get it!
Salaam eleikum Y'all!

Fantastic representation of everything that needs to be said and understood to adapt with a new culture. Interaction and involvement will change the war. This goes to show what honorable men can accomplish. Thank you for the presentation and your dedication to our country!
