High afghan soldiers not a good sign for US withdrawal

12/22/2009
The U.S. marines training the Afghan army come across as consistently frustrated by how unfocused, and often high, many of the Afghans are. They complain repeatedly of soldiers coming to training without a lot of their gear, including their helmets.

One U.S. Marine summed up the situation succinctly by saying: "Ultimately, it effects their ability to protect their nation and get Afghanistan on its feet."




Good Lord! It seems like trying to herd cats. If they do not take their own security seriously why are we? :(
