Okay - I hope I didn't misquote or misrepresent you in any way because if I did I apologize !
I had gathered the impression from your following posts that you reckoned that the Taliban will come back & the Afghan Establishment (Civilian + Military Executive) won't be able to hold their own :
Afghan wants 150 Battle tanks and 1 Squadron of Attack choppers from India | Page 9
Afghan wants 150 Battle tanks and 1 Squadron of Attack choppers from India | Page 5
Time has come to leave Afghanistan
The gist of those posts, as I understood them to be, came across as thus :
(i) ANA isn't suitable for fighting the insurgency but the ANP is however there isn't any intelligence sharing or coordination between the two of them for things to work out optimally !
(ii) The Locals are either rooting for the Taliban or are scared sh*tless of them; they didn't even let you guys bury one of their dead's decomposed remains out of fear of reprisal !
An extrapolation of that could be - How are the 'Forces' you built even if they're recruited from the Afghans are going to be viewed by the Locals ? Mercenaries or Sons of the Soil ?
(iii) Whatever was happening in Afghanistan in '01 is still happening there & nothing has really changed !
(iv) Unless one find's another country as strong as the US to take the 'beam' - what does that colloquial expression mean - you'd have a Civil War 2.0 happening in Afghanistan !
(v) One needs to bet on the right horse because it could go either way !
@Icarus - Some of that would seem eerily true for our side as well....no ?![]()
