Twenty Afghan guards for the NATO-led Australian forces defected to the Taliban after a dispute with the soldiers in southern Afghanistan, police said Wednesday.
Now this worries me immensely because how in the world can we expect an army to win a war when they can’t display any more dedication that what was shown here.
This puts serious doubts in my mind about what we can expect from the Afghans once we are completely out of the country. I sincerely hope that they will be able to stand.
“The Australian soldiers beat the Afghan guards after some verbal disputes in a military camp in Charchino district of Uruzgan province,” district police chief Wali Dad said.
The defection occurred two days after a police chief and 12 of his men took weapons and joined the Taliban in western Farah province.
This is a serious negative indication about the morale of the Afghan troops, if they can’t do any better than this with NATO troops and the US present what will they be able to do when we leave?
i almost feel that what we need to do is to pull out all of our military ring customers and let the chips fall where they may. My regret is that so many American lives have been lost in the process.
