It’s culturally “beneath them” to “take care of” anything.
I guess our people didn’t bow low enough last time they were there.
You are correct there MrB. I recall reading an article here on FR a handful of years back that the reason many muslim nations' military gear is second rate at best (even when provided first rate hardware) is because of the culture of having to actually take care of "things". They would rather farm out that work but made poor decisions in who actually conducted their regular maintenance; hence it slipped and slipped and slipped.

Hmmmmmm sounds a lot like Obama’s/Holder’s people.
