I spent a few nasty months in Afghanistan as a part of Italian contingent, fighting Taliban and bringing freedom to Afghanistan. Once our unit met with Georgians... I can hardly describe in words how they impressed us! They've looked like a bunch of hairy monkeys in uniform with weapon. They were so inspired and excited because they were allowed to take part in the operation. When the time for real action came they showed their full incompetence and inability as a military force. As far as I know the US sent a group of military instructors to bring Georgia's army to a new level of efficiency, but I guess they had overestimated Georgian soldiers' abilities. The whole Afghanistan heard the laugh of the contingent when Georgians came to a shooting range to show their level of training. I never thought that it would be so hard for a professional soldier to hit a shooting mark at hundred meters. But it's not the end of Georgia's soldiers' adventures. No matter of the day time and situation we saw Georgian soldiers drinking alcohol and taking drugs not ashamed of being caught, stealing from poor locals and other soldiers, soliciting to female soldiers from other countries, there were even attempts of raping, but thanks God they were successfully suppressed and Command made everything to hide the scandal because no one was really hurt, maybe only morally. Resuming I have to say that Georgian contingent is a gang of insolent cowards and bastards just like their president Saakashvili. It's war in Afghanistan not a playground. God preserve us all if Georgia's army will be covering our back when the time comes!
Buona fortuna!
