MAJ Bryan Zeski1117698<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>We're all struggling with how to deal with refugees. What if we took in refugees on the condition that the military aged males would immediately be sent to Fort Benning for Infantry OSUT training and then would essentially be formed into their own units, sent back to Syria, armed and back into the fight. We provide food, shelter, uniforms, training, etc and they get to be our "boots on the ground."Would we support bringing in refugees in order to train them as a military unit to go back and reclaim their lands?2015-11-18T20:36:51-05:00MAJ Bryan Zeski1117698<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>We're all struggling with how to deal with refugees.

Secure. An Island. Owned by a NATO ally (actually, two of them, sort of). Similar topography. It just makes sense.Response by 1SG Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 18 at 2015 11:43 PM2015-11-18T23:43:11-05:002015-11-18T23:43:11-05:00Capt Seid Waddell1118129<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Good idea - as long as they are vetted..Response by Capt Seid Waddell made Nov 19 at 2015 12:19 AM2015-11-19T00:19:11-05:002015-11-19T00:19:11-05:00SSgt David Tedrow1118145<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No, we can train them in their own country.Response by SSgt David Tedrow made Nov 19 at 2015 12:30 AM2015-11-19T00:30:49-05:002015-11-19T00:30:49-05:00MCPO Roger Collins1118881<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If they ran now, what makes you think they would fight for us after being trained?
