PM Narendra Modi shocked and saddened by Kandahar attack

[I.R.A]

Why were the Americans so quick to call it an Afghan on Afghan attack?

You can't have peace talks .......... when idiots like Abdul Raziq are still breathing. You cannot have Northern Alliance on your side as long as Ahmad Shah Masood is still breathing ........ repeat act.

Syrian Army took far higher losses and still won.
Anyways Taliban losses are higher than ANSF as confirmed by US Resolute Mission.

You are comparing a National army, An Institute with 70 Years of existence and experience of Full Scale wars, Counter Insurgencies and War against Terrorists and full cover and empowerment by Federal Government with well funded budget and close relations with Russian block.
With this rag tag security apparatus formed by occupying forces just 17 years ago without any in house doctrine or experience. You know very well the old Afghan army was totally disbanded and capitulated in the 90s and this new force came to existence just recently.
Just the word "Army" Doesn't mean the organization becomes one. The armies like we have in our countries like your army or our army are powerful institutes with decades of experience, Structure, Relations, Doctrines etc.
ANA is nothing like them. And you cant blame the Americans, You cannot simply raise a professional army from the ground and thin air.
What best they can do? Find people of Influence around the Country and then use their influence to get loyalty of the locals who are loyal to those locals to join the band they named as Army. and some youngsters who are ambitious to study in the Army institutes also supervised by foreign powers. because their are no local military academics infrastructure. What will be they indoctrinated for?
Take your country for example. Your Soldiers fight for "Bharat Mata", The country The mother land, Then the institute the pride of the nation, being part of it a privilege felt, the sense of being protectors of independence of the people, 70 years of indoctrination of the whole nation about the image of the military and Independence of the country and a cause to defend it. Thats how you make SOLDIERS and ARMY.
Thats the case with Syrian Army, Unless it is completely Disbanded and Capitulated, No matter how bad you beat it, it will get stronger and more soldiers it looses more morale it will get, they pride of nation defenders of country, Repelling the foreign invaders sort of Doctrine that pulls even more youngsters to join in.
Same is unfortunately not true if you are enlisted due to your Tribal chief holding an office in capital managed and run by foreign forces like Afghanistan

If your own views are irrelevant then why a forum? just copy pasting ISPR releases would suffice. And no I do not consider them backward combatants, these are the same people who hung political enemies from barrels of tanks, and chopped off peoples arms and legs, these people have brainwashed kids to blow up themselves to kill innocent civilians in the name of god to do their bidding, these are the same people who ran a genocide factory when they were in power. If these are not terrorists, who are? From thier rise in the early nineties, tosiege of Kabul with thier hekaymetyaar buddies, to the terror factory of Darul Uloom Haqqania, to thier aid and nurturing AQ, thier conduct has been nothing other than sheer terror.

I do have an opinion, and doesn't need the blessing of US state debt to identify terrorist scumbags and taliban are the finest examples.

Now to address specifics, No Taliban is not a listed terror organisation in FTO list, but if we do suggest such lists are the precondition to determine actions as terrorism, a lot of your freedom fighting thread would be quite contrary to the popular belief.

They were irrelevant to the discussion, as to why they are not on the terrorist list. I'm not sure why you bought the ISPR in here.
Yes they've engaged in the activities you have mentioned, as have their foes the ANA and in some cases done worse. I can give you the example of how ANA soldiers would keep young boys alongside their units for rape, that comes straight out of US Marine Corp's testimonies.
The bottom line is they're a recognised fighting force which hasn't been put on the terrorist list for a reason i.e. for peace overtures. Yes they engage in horrible things, as do their foes, welcome to Afghanistan.
