I have seen this kinda of thing discussed here before, but breaking the 82nd up into what looks like squads and partnering them with an Afgan unit...
Can a 27+ year old 11B E6 Staff Sergeant be given a course on Combat FID and then just pull it off?...I imagine the QPs would say no, but mother Army seems to be saying yes.
Are we trying to block a hole in the dam with our pinky finger?

I can't believe Barry's really going to try and pull this one off........  Who did he discuss this concept with?  Biden????
