What is your confirmation of Sangar's blabbering. Please tell us how so? Stop the non-sense unless you can adequately back it up. So you two sherlocks even know what the American foreign policy concerning Afghanistan is? Please do tell..

Just chill mate, just chill. Now where did I talk nonsense and where did I support Sangar wror's ''blabbering''? The fact is known by majority that most extreme Muslims amongst Mujaheds were picked as Taliban and do I need to tell u who made sure it comes this far? Even whebn my Jalalabadi mate was telling me about his trip to Kabul, he told me how uncivilized and rude those policemen and soldiers trained by the US were. Its ur own countrymen buddy, ur own countrymen.

I am very chilled, thank you. I think what I have highlighted in red is blabbering at best. Who picked what in Taliban? The Americans?lol

If you mean that the U.S. funded the most fundementalists durring the Sovietn invasion, it would make sense.

Yes they might be rude and heavy handed, but that is Afghansitan. We are not the West. They surely can't be alot worse than Pak-i-stani police.

Both my parents are in Kabul right now. Like most Afghans who are lucky enough to live safely outside the city boundries where the Police are rarely seen, they enjoy piece and tranquility and try to avoid going in to the city or having to interact with the police. Because they fear of being robbed or kidnapped.

SImilarly, one of my relatives was an instructure at the police academy for years during Karzai goverment. He said he only gets to deal with drug-addicts and low-lifes who are criminals and murderers wearing police uniforms.

Another relative who is a captain of traffic police is actually schizophrenic. He beliefs to have supernatural powers. Every friday, he goes to the mosque, and after the prayer, he stands outside the mosque and shouts at the people trying to convince the crowd that they should follow him as he is a "pir" and he has special powers and can make cars move without a driver etc etc.

This is the situation in Kabul and this is the state of Afghan police.

I am surprised to see Afghan Soldier starting bad-mouthing people because we dare to speak about the reality. Why would anyone prevent the truth from being speard?

Afghan police failings fuelling Taliban recruitment, say UK army chiefs

Returning British commanders say corrupt local police cited as main reason for Afghans joining insurgents



British commanders recently returned from Helmand province today painted a devastating picture of the corrupt and ill-disciplined local police force, saying Afghans gave it as the main reason why they joined the Taliban.
The problem is particularly serious since Afghan security forces are key to the Nato-led counterinsurgency strategy, they made clear. They also said the lack of Afghan security forces was the reason why Sangin, where six marines have been killed within the last month, remained such a dangerous area for foreign troops.
The police are "most often cited as why there is a problem and why people joined the Taliban", Brigadier James Cowan, commander of 11 Brigade which has just returned from a six-month deployment in southern Afghanistan, told a press briefing.
"So often captured Taliban mention the police as the reason for joining in the first place", he added.
The problem was compounded by Taliban propaganda. Taliban fighters wore Afghan police uniforms as they stole money and possessions from innocent people at checkpoints.
Though it was crucial to recruit and train more Afghan security forces as quickly as possible, at the moment they appeared in many ways to be as much part of the problem as the solution, Cowan said.
His comments were echoed by Lieutenant Colonel Roly Walker, commander of 1 Battalion Grenadier Guards which has also recently returned from Sangin. He said the Taliban exploited grievances to "incite insurrection".
However, he added that the Taliban were not the biggest obstacle to success. Rather they were "consequences of much deeper social and political grievances".
Walker said that over the past six months his soldiers had been engaged in more than 1,300 gunfights in central Helmand province and had come across more than 500 improvised explosive devices (IEDs), 62 of which had gone off. Fifteen of his soldiers had been killed and 69 wounded, and they had killed more than 600 insurgents.
Lt Col Nick Kitson, commander of 3 Rifles, based in Sangin, had a particularly bloody deployment with 30 British soldiers killed over six months, and many more seriously injured. His troops killed more than a hundred insurgents.
He said it was "very easy to fall prey" to IEDs in Sangin. It was "a matter of inches and seconds".
Kitson described Sangin as being an opium factory "in the middle of nowhere". However, he said there was growing evidence that security was improving, with the bazaar more active and more community schools opened there.
The key, the British commanders made clear, was recruiting better trained soldiers in the Afghan national army. There had been a 25% increase in the national army over the past six months, they said.
