Bringing up culture sets me off a little. It's usually done by those with little understanding of the context in which they are trying to apply it, his unaware post being no exception.
Abdullah went to Sandhurst for fucks sake, served in the British Army doing recon for the 13/18th Royal Hussars. Fundamentally different mind set than Western society huh?
Clearly, and it's well illustrated by the woefully inadequate complex they're burdened with. The one with

- Mock A300 and 737 sized aircraft both with fully outfitted cabins, including targets that stand up out of their seats. There is also a simulated airport tower, tarmac and terminal area.
- Method of entry facility where explosive, mechanical and other forms of breach and entry technologies can be put into practice against different materials and structures.
- A high-rise commando tower for simulating insertions and extractions from a tall buildings, including the use of climbing, repelling and helicopters.

Good thing they don't have any American tech or training, no? I mean it's not as if the guy running the show over there, in addition to being a Special Forces man, also is well versed in the front line use of tanks and Cobra attack choppers. And running night missions in F-16s. Yeah, the Jordanian military is manned largely by illiterate Bedouin, everyone knows this.
