Regrettably we have to post bad news sometimes and this post is not an exception. We try to find good news to report but the bad and the ugly have to be told also. The unfortunate incident that we are referring to is the death of an American serviceman at the hands of an Afghan national who was being trained by the US.
The Afghan was wounded and arrested during the incident and is incaracerated until an investigation is completed. If you have been following this blog you may remember some of these incidents that we have reported in the past. The problem is that there is so much corruption in the Afghan governmemt. President Obama has taken steps to end the corruption and the United States has revamped the training and selection process for selecting Afghan soldiers. I have said and will say again that I believe that the Afghan army will make the turn but they will need diligent help to do so. I can’t speak for my Enduring Freedom ring customers but I believe that they probably feel the same as I do.
