That misses the point. Your statement is also incoherent given that you say "I don't know what to say" before saying much more immediately thereafter.
Anyway, my point again: Hoping that most FAMs are disciplined, smart thinkers does not a reality make; and therefore I can't acknowledge that the majority of FAMs have both the discipline and facility of smart thinking for a variety of counterterrorism situations.

Barking up the wrong tree, for I care about the words written not what you intend.

Your "[A]nd incorrect, as well" is not only an incorrect claim, it's also an incoherent claim given the preceding sentence. See above.

Some training and experience does not necessarily inspire confidence, especially given program participants. That is, the "training" and "experience" in counterterrorism of most FAMs does not inspire universal confidence, nor does the audience in receipt of that "training" and "experience" inspire universal confidence either. I'm just glad that I don't have a dog in this fight (i.e., direct material interest), particularly when it's known that the DHS doling out cash influences perceptions more than it changes reality.
