Yeah.

"Oh, look, someone built a fortress across the street from the military academy. We should not find out who built it. Let's just pretend it doesn't exist."

"OK"

Well, I know that this is all a big stretch for us - especially those of us who have never been to foreign lands (especially lands as foreign as these). There are just different ways of looking at things.

They talk about how the locals looked at it - that whoever lived there was a) wealthy and b) had a tribal feud that required secrecy and security just to live there.

Such things are completely foreign to us, but make perfect sense in that part of the world. But, do I suspect that some in the army understood who lived there? Absolutely. I still hold that we must be very, very careful about what we do about that knowledge.
