[See name tag in photo first] This is Rambo. His real name is Jamal Udin. A Taliban rocket killed his wife in 1996. A couple years ago Jamal showed up at the Camp Phoenix front gate with a big red pipe. He became a self-appointed security guard, screening vehicular and pedestrian traffic entering the American camp. After a while, GIs “adopted” him, outfitting him with the Army Combat Uniform and a nickname. On January 16th a suicide bomber rammed his vehicle into the front gate. While the bomber fumbled with the detonator, Rambo pulled him out through the broken windshield. Later, engineers blew the vehicle in place, destroying the guard post. Rambo saved the lives of several American Soldiers. A grateful nation thanks him! |

In March the National Military Academy of Afghanistan will begin offering electives in four academic majors: Civil & Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Law & Political Science, and English Language. Faculty preparation for these courses has drawn on expertise from the Afghan National Army, Kabul University, and West Point. At times I've thought this academic program "too ambitious, too soon"; and that the faculty and cadets aren't prepared to execute to Western standards. What I've come to accept is they are prepared to execute with what they have, and that's what matters. With American resolve, this academy can become for Afghanistan what West Point became for the United States.
