Over the past 30 years American foreign aid to Egypt has gone for military training. A lot of that training has been with US troops. When this uprising began the Egyptian high command was in fact at the Pentagon planning more combined training exercises.

It is my sincerest hope that the Egyptian military has watched how the US military is in fact powerful, yet willingly accepts civilian leadership.

Wouldn't that be a mind blower, eh?

Also, aren't we glad that that was our foreign aid developing the military's minds and not China's?

(hint, hint, to the Republicans who are preparing to slash our foreign aid budget.)
