It sucks to be a poor judge of character.
I may be in the minority here, but I find it pretty reprehensible how the government trades US citizenship for locals helping to read maps and roadsigns. We already do that for people who can operate a deep-fat fryer or leaf blower. The unsaid part of this story is how we stirred up the hornet’s nest so bad that no one, except the crazies we supposedly went there to kill wants to be there. There’s your nation building.
