Well that could be good news.
ReplyDeleteBut how much are they going to actually back stop the Afghan forces?
If they actually support the guys, I think the Afghan soldiers could do quite well.
For years I heard that the Italian soldier did not perform well during WW2. I believed it.
then i read that they performed well enough with the Afrika Corps.
It is all in th leadership, social cohesion, training and supply.
The Afghan soldier can perform as well as anyone if they believe in their cause and are adequately led and supplied.
But to get things going they have to know someone has their back and they need some victories to get it rolling.
