...While the new Afghan recruits are often fearless fighters - nearly three decades of continuous war has instilled a stoic acceptance of pain and privation that would hobble most modern militaries - few are prepared for the discipline required for service in a regular army. One U.S. drill sergeant wryly recognizes that time is an elastic concept for most of his trainees, and a tribal leader from Helmand estimates that any given day finds as many as half of the ANA soldiers in his province stoned on hashish...

But if the four books in the series were the Marx Brothers, this one would be Zeppo - a supporting actor outplayed by the charismatic stars...
