The Saudis have it pretty easy in government service.
In government service, yes, but not in the military unless they are well connected politically. Rank means nothing in their military, only political connections.
They are likely well connected because they are here in the US. Also it is likely they have no connection to the training being conducted, as they cycle “your turn, my turn” scheduling to the states. . .regardless of the type of training.
A paid trip to the states where they receive “training” but are not required to perform in that capacity when they return. Normal-normal.
