Commander Adams who commanded the Provincial Reconstruction Team in Khost province of Afghanistan.
10/28/2009
Commander Adams of the 82nd Airborne says he secured Khost province with only 250 troops by befriending the tribals and building roads and a spring water syste to help 12,000 villagers. Then the tribals watched out for insurgents and IED's and reported them. He says there are only one year wars in Afghnistan and the need is for better grasp of things over there, menaning befriending the tribals and letting them do the job; not putting more Americans there which will only fuel the insurgency.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
