Nice share LTC (Join to see) ... foreign aid, be it cash or other products is often squandered by receiving countries. Ethically challenging to western nations: bribes, graft, and other crimes are frequently overlooked & often a requirement to do business in that part of the world.

Yes, you do bring back some memories. When I was in Afghanistan making sure we gave a terms of use agreement to the local government to make sure that the vehicles that we purchased were not given to the Cook and buddies but actually given to the city managers at needed the vehicles. I recall putting fertilizer and weed seed that we were giving to the local farmers they would plant leaves and stead of opium to make sure that they would not eat the weed seeds. A team before us was suckered by the Department of State to build a madrasah or religious trade school. The trade school ended up having equipment that was not used and the female PRT Commander was not welcomed there because the Taliban have taken the school over. Yes, we have made mistakes in Afghanistan and doesn't matter what political party you are from. You have to be careful and make sure the Afghans or the i r a q i s sign a term of use agreement to make sure it doesn't go into their pocket.
