A senior British commander in southern Afghanistan said in recent weeks
that he had asked that American Special Forces leave his area of
operations because the high level of civilian casualties they had
caused was making it difficult to win over local people.
The message that the American forces are out of control in Afghanistan is coming though loud and clear.
As long as NATO continues to allow the Americans to behave as if they were in their own wild west of the 19th century, the so-called "mission" in Afghanistan will fail.
Over and over again we have called on the political leaders to get hold of the strategy in the Afghanistan war. None has showed th slightest interest. All of them, from the Canadians to the Danes to the Dutch, have turned a blind eye to reality.
In fact the situation has become so bad, that now military leaders are beginning to speak out.
Maybe this is what it’s going to take to get the politicians to wake up, strong messages from the senior military.
The problem is that all military leaders are self-serving.
as opposed to … ? LOL
