Why are we training foreign students at our military bases and academies?
Back in the early 70’s we were training Iranian pilots at our military bases.
In the late 80’s, I went through basic Morse code training at NTTC Pensacola (now CID Pensacola, I believe), and there were Iraqi military personnel on base.
I don’t think it’s a good idea, period, but I don’t make policy.
Its included in the weapons sales I think.
I remember those days. Iranians were being trained on an Air Force base where we lived and had to leave town suddenly. We got a great price on a vehicle and bought cheap on other items.
