This Week's Program

Lt. Col. Carl Grunow gave a very interesting report on his experience training Iraqi soldiers in Iraq.

He believes their are many devoted and dedicated Iraqis working hard to learn the skills necessary to take responsibility for security in their country. In contrast to the negative reports we hear from media sources, he is encouraged and hopeful for progress with the Iraqi people. A distrusting culture of a dictatorship is not easily changed, but the armies of both countries are working together to succeed.
