Al Jazeera: 'Will never rejoin': Record casualties take toll on Afghan forces
Since 2015, nearly 30,000 Afghan soldiers and police have been killed, President Ashraf Ghani revealed this month.
As the Taliban maintain an upper hand in the 17-year Afghanistan conflict, casualties in the country's beleaguered security forces are reaching what experts warn are unsustainable levels.
Since the beginning of 2015, nearly 30,000 Afghan soldiers and police have been killed, President Ashraf Ghani revealed this month - a figure far higher than anything previously acknowledged.
That is an average of around 20 soldiers killed every day.

A few years back I read that the desertion rate amongst the Afghan recruits was in the 30% range too. They got the training and left with their uniforms and weapons.
In an interview a US soldier who was in Afghanistan at the start, pulled into Iraq when that got going, then later returned to Afghanistan talked about a vastly improved Taliban in terms of tactics. It suggested that all that training wasn't wasted after all, just re-allocated to the enemy.
Hey do you guys hear the feminists marching in the streets demanding 50% of those sweet, sweet police officer jobs? Deafening!
Feminism in 2018:
- presumption of innocence only for women
- and please 50% of the best tech jobs without merit. But please keep those deadly jobs for the toxic masculinity guys.
Can't wait for 2019.. yet more "equality" to come
But hey. .women are less divisive, right? Better "team players" who can "compromise"..
That's the biggest lie of all. Who called literally to and "end of civility until we're back in power"? Why, self-proclaimed feminist Hillary Clinton - longterm leading ticket of the Democrat party.
And who called for people to be "harassed" and "intimidated" for voicing different opinions? Why, Maxing Waters.
And who told men to "shut up"? The representative lady of Hawaii.
And who screamed at the top of their lungs "we believe HER" and called literally for accused to have to prove their innocence (inverting bed rock pillar of our legal system, presumption of innocence and due process)? You guessed it. The mobs roaming Washington which were about 80% women.
And who used Ford and dragged her in front of the public ignoring her wishes and leaking her letter? Well Lady Feinsten. .. such great examples of integrity, moral and superior intellect.
Can't wait for 2019, now that we just voted in more women than ever. .it's gonna be team building/team players and "compromising" all day long.
