ANALYSIS/OPINION:
As the experiment in Afghanistan falls apart like Ikea furniture, American’s central planners are doing what they do best: Pointing the finger instead of the thumb. Whether you’re an Afghan tribesman or U.S. citizen, when Washington fails to run your life better than you do, it’s not their fault. Even in the face of collapse, they double down, convinced that they could train anyone to sit, roll over and speak for a handful of Scooby Snacks.
“Training” is a magic word to bureaucrats, the dismal record of government schools notwithstanding. If they can just cram enough human guinea pigs into a classroom, they’re sure they can turn coal miners and Pashtuns into programmers. Never mind that any teacher, parent, or pee-wee football coach knows that motivation is the key to achievement.

Photojournalist Brian Lukas on storied career: I ve been to a battlefield

NEW ORLEANS In one of his last interviews, Stephen Ambrose remarked, “How can you write about the history of a battle unless you’ve seen the battlefield?”
Professor Ambrose was my history professor at the University of New Orleans and a driving force behind the WWII Museum. For decades, I documented history on a daily basis. I would add further reflection on Dr. Ambrose’s comments: How can you write about the history of a battle unless you walked in it, touched it, smelled it, and sometimes, even tasted it? I have been to a battlefield.
