Afghan National Army troops train in the U.S.

The Taliban were beaten by the Northern Alliance and the coalition by melting into the civilian population and denying they were ever supporters yet now are on the rise because we do not have enough troops to keep our promises nor to control the warlords.

I hope we know exactly who we are training:
"Members of the Afghan National Army and Police arrived at the Joint Readiness Training Center, at Fort Polk, La., Oct. 23. The 42 soldiers and policemen have been working side by side with the newest edition to the 82nd Airborne Division family, the 4th Brigade Combat Team, from Fort Bragg, N.C. They have been conducting combat patrols and convoys as part of a training exercise. The exercises allow them to rehearse their mission in a simulated combat environment by test their skills under stressful conditions. The Afghan soldiers and police officers have been doing this training by embedding in groups of 10 with each of the brigade’s battalions. "
