The most beautiful thing about this victory is the fact Chad can hold this land and not have it return to any other influence after the USA leaves. They are incredible. Only when native military is successful will stability endure. Now, this military is able to stabilize their region and sovereignty and the security of their people. The more secure a region is, the sooner their economy can grow.
When President Obama instills the need for native militaries to be strong and successful it is because it lasts. No more Wack-a-Mole. No more Ba'athists waiting their turn to violence. The reasons are real. It isn't because the left political wing of American politics is hiding under their desks to practice "Duck and Cover."
