NATO knucklehead: “OK, the SFAB idea was a complete and utter failure because the 14th century Afghans here just don’t get the whole idea of logistics or sustainment. Who would have thought? But hang on, I have a NEW training idea:
How about – instead – we go out and Train The Taliban (T3 strategy) to be worse soldiers than the Afghan Army? Like, introduce a stifling bureaucracy and incompetent, self-serving leaders. Encourage corruption at all levels. Have them hire useless, overpriced contractors to drain their funding. Produce slick recruitment videos that attract the least able that just need a paycheck. Teach Taliban commanders how to use PowerPoint and Microsoft Project to organize their operations. Why, we’ll kick their ass in no time!” https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2d768cbb8d5e1b06a4f6281c8865569d07fa416d1392662897c097c37053430b.png
