Reading a RAND study on Afghanistan I came across the following passage:
As part of the international effort, several countries volunteered to lead various aspects of the rebuilding of the Afghan government and infrastructure. Germany, for example, took responsibility for training the national police; Italy offered to assist with justice system reforms; and the United States volunteered to train a new national army and border force.
The Italians running the justice system? The U.S., which can barely control its own border with Mexico, training the border force? The best part, however, is the German role assisting with the new police force, which brings to mind this old joke.
