Wahab Sultany, a Lt. Col. in the Afghan military was sent to the US in January to help stem a growing AWOL problem with Afghan soldiers sent to the states for training.
I seems that the students who knew they were going to fail would slip away before being sent home rather than suffer the humiliation of failure (and also not go back to a war torn country).
The hardest and most important part of their training was learning English and that is what they were failing.
Col. Sultany managed to take an AWOL situation where 7 soldiers disappeared in December alone to only one going AWOL so far this year and even that soldier was in the program before Sultany arrived.
Everyone involved in the program thinks Sultan has done a great job, including paying for much of the costs for his activities out of pocket.
So what have his leaders in Afghanistan decided to do?
They are sending him home and his replacement isn't due for months.
I can't shake the idea that the Obama administration had something to do with this.
They are trying to screw up anything that works.
