Lol war starts with one side provide equipment and training military officer by another country.
Look at what US do to Israel, did we put opts on the ground for Israel? No. We simply armed them and train them. See how far we go with other Arab country?
Look here, I am not saying India should not be making friend or whatever, nor I am holding a grudge or bad vibe to Afghanistan or its army. I am simply telling you what I know and what I feel
What I know is this, ANA + ANP (actually ANP is kore important organisation for Afghanistan to be stable) is a competent force, I know this as I train them myself. However, I also know one fact and that is ANA and ANP may be enough to tackle a few province in Afghanistan but certainly not enough for the whole Afghanistan. ( I double they are even enough for the trouble in Helmand alone)
That is not the worse point tho, what worse is local afghani don't really trust the Karzai government, they see them as a puppet to the American
US indeed rebuild everything in Afghanistan in that 13 years, the only thing they did not rebuild is their military and police. Afghanistan still largely relied on militia force and NATO force to hold them together
I am not pro whom and against whom, I have no interest on the Middle East politic, this is simply what I saw and what I think. Take it or not is up to any individual
Lol I don't know nothing about Afghanistan and afghani...I was an intelligence officer with the US army and deployed in Afghanistan, this is my job to blend in with the afghani and talk to them lol.
I don't see how valid your point is,war fought not by culturally invade another country, nor does it matter wholly
Indeed USSF will probably stayed but would that be enough for them staying?
Anti insurgency largely involve human intel, it's matter of how many people you talk to, how much information you can vet, and finally how much trust your source put in you to tell you the truth
It does not matter if ANA is train by the CIA, let alone IA. They don't have enought people and network to source intel and they were not trusted enough by local populace to tell the truth, no amount of the training from anywhere can change that
Again I am saying we been over there for a very long time, situation is still more or less the same. If NATO and US have developed a serious local afghanistan fighting force, the situation maybe different. But today, on the eve of withdrawal, instability persist. That alone is saying something.
If you want trouble just because someone is liking Bollywood film and music, then man, India have some sort of strange foreign policy
Yeah, the American
If america do what they do in 1990's they may see another 9/11.I dont think USA do again that folly.India is not do large scale humanitarian before taliban rule but it is present case is not like that
,India also negotiate for iron ore development in afghanistan.So I have some doubt whether India and rest of the world pump so much money to afghanistan if it is again over throwed by taliban .
We can just wait and see what happen after 2014
