Lunch with International Fellows of the War College

I had the opportunity to sit down with a group of 25 international students of the War College for lunch at the American Lake Club. My table included colonels from the Lebanese, Kenyan, and Japanese Armies. This was a rare occasion in which I had personal stories related to all three nationalities (Lebanese instructors in Arabic at FT Bragg in '98; a six week mission to Nairobi, Kenya in '99 and repeated trips to Japan to work with the Japanese Self Defense Forces). Enjoyable!
