I can't remember many of their IPs firsthand.
For their students, if they can overcome the language barrier (not as easy as it sounds) and they work hard, then it's possible to get good results. We had a Saudi finish primary with just over a 50 NSS a couple years ago or so. When he was about halfway through that, I remember him telling me he was trying to set the record for Saudi students. He flew pretty well and I graded him just like I would any other student- as in no inflation but credit where credit was due. But when they're bad at flying, they're really bad.
Their training is bought and paid for, foreign military sales, so I never lost any sleep nor gained blood pressure over the attrition policy. With U.S. students and most allies, it's a question of meeting the standard within certain time and resources. If somebody's government wishes to allocate more time and money then that's not my business; that's how I see it.
With some of the weaker students who showed extra motivation, I did go out of my way to help them more. I figured that was sort of a long term investment or cultural exchange or whatever... that guy who is struggling right now is going to remember the extra help and years from now- and tell his friends that Americans are good people. Maybe that's just a drop in the proverbial bucket, but whatever your opinion about their society and its problems, we do have to share the planet with them.
At least that's how I used to think about it. This kid who shot up API and killed my brothers-in-arms, along with his complicit "dinner and a movie party" friends, that's got me thinking hard about all this.
