Stop bullshitting me ‘Murika! There is no “Afghan Army”. There is no counterpart to a Pentagon, command & control, administration, or systems. Their “troops” are ragamuffins who come and go for a paycheck. Desertion is rampant. Disciple is nonexistent. Skills are zero.
Their numbers and capabilities are grossly inflated.
“SIGAR’s report said that the Pentagon’s records, which were previously classified, had an “accounting error” and didn’t include the correct number of Afghan troops for all of 2014. Officials said they were accidentally counting civilians twice. They apparently caught the error last fall but never bothered to mention it to the auditors.”

They are literally “ghost armies”.
You’d be hard pressed to find a bigger case of pissing away money, and that’s saying something!!
Maybe it’s good that the army is kept overseas–less of them to corral and shoot at US citizens here on the mainland.
On the other hand, maybe those “good soldiers” would be needed back home to counter Obama’s citizen army that will attack us.
Either way, we’re fucked. Expect the boot to press harder on your throat.
We have to protect the opium crop ’cause the drug money is all that’s propping up the TBTF banks. Ask HSBC, they know the deal.
