So we go in blindly and we are told we don't know how to work with the people or cultures and will fail, under heavy criticism for not understand the cultures.
We bring people who do know, and its an ethical dilemma?
And btw when you get an anthropology degree that doesn't make you a non-citizen of the US. Its the arrogance of the ivory tower that thinks being at an university somehow elevates them above the masses.

In one of the first districts the team entered, Tracy identified an unusually high concentration of widows in one village, Colonel Woods said. Their lack of income created financial pressure on their sons to provide for their families, she determined, a burden that could drive the young men to join well-paid insurgents. Citing Tracy’s advice, American officers developed a job training program for the widows.

I mean, the horror of such policy!
Really, its difficult to make what seems to be long over due common sense policy into an issue but this seems to be the goal here?
