afghanistan, ambassador
holbrooke talked to me about
literacy training and i said you
do not understand.
i am a military soldier, i do
not do literacy.
he told me if you do not, you'll
find your job challenging.
we are going to start doing
literacy and we have to get on
with a vengeance ever since.
we employed over 2000 afghan
teachers and inculcated
literacy.
to give you the magnitude of
what we're doing, each day, we
train over 2000 afghans.
every single one takes literacy.
i hope -- it is imperative that
we have raised the educational
level within afghanistan if
we're going to make this effort
of ours endure.
