This is the personality type that reaches into a rocky recess without looking and comes out backwards with a rattlesnake attached to an appendage.

They'll have a hard time learning. Kinda like the kids in Tom Clancy's "Shadow Warriors". These kids would roll landmines down the hill to see how long it would take for them to detonate. A few died and some were saved by some QP's while they did humanitarian assistance in Kurdistan during the first Gulf War.

When we first rolled into Iraq the looters where going haywire over all of the things they could get their hands on. Anyone remember looters coming up sick after they looted the Al Tuwaitha power plant? Anybody see an Iraqi local try to turn a dollar by selling you munitions out of the backseat and trunk of a taxi. It happens in Afghanistan too. I have seen it and I tell you that is one scary site to see.

Sorry for the slight bump.
