    I suspect they haven’t. I’ve never actually been in the military but I have been a private contractor that has worked with the military and it’s amazing how dysfunctional it can be.

    Everyone involved in any particular situation always seems to be the least competent person they could possibly have had. Often it’s a combination of wilful ignorance combined with a “not my job” attitude.

    I can totally see a situation where no one has bothered it to sit down with the soldiers and actually tell them any of this, while at the same time soldiers are obtrusive enough that it never occurred to them that Bahrain is extremely non-progressive.
