The TFO is by far the best rod in the bunch, making it a decent rod but no more. They are about $100, give or take, and a good rod in that price range. The Mitchell and Martin are... usable. Ditto the Shakespeare reels. Panfish or small pond bass capable, but not much more and too heavy for any decent trout without the quality for anything beyond the farm pond. The Marado is a $10 reel. Take that for what it's worth.
You can learn on all that stuff, though.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.
