		<description>Your journalistic “broad brush” shows a lack of research and knowledge on the subject.  “tied to more population-alienating abuses”?  While I grant you there are some who should have never been hired as security personnel – high speed / low drag / lower IQ; you throw them in with the thousands of other American contractors who are working every day with an Afghan counterpart to build their abilities and provide support.  Then, to compare that group to the military / DoD personnel who never leave their secure compounds?  Do some more reading... or better yet, come on over and get some actual facts for your work.</description>
