I was listening to an interview with an SF guy a few days ago. He was worked with some Egyptian soldiers. The Egyptians would turn their GPS on to see where they needed to go and then turn the GPS off. Then they would get lost and turn the GPS on and then turn it off. For some reason, it never occurred to them that they should just leave the GPS on.

These people are entrusted with machines that can kill hundreds of people. Incompetence seems to be a common thing on that side of the world.
>>
>>33732820
That seems to be the case. They'll kill a fellow soldier if they find out that someone has been saving money in the bank instead of spending it right away.

Exactly.

Its the drive to fight that makes the ANA weak as shit.

Hell the Taliban attackers WERE former afghan soldiers and they had the same shit as the troops their were fighting. Scoring a 10 to 1 fucking kill ratio before they ran outta ammo.

VERY HIGH PROBABILITY THAT IT WAS AN INSIDE JOB

The ANA is plagued with taliban agents. They never talk about this on the news, but after the US pulled out, many Pashtuns in the force expected the taliban to quickly retake their villages, so they either defected to the taliban or offered to pass them information

American can't train combatants worth a shit, true fact since Vietnam.

Same damn people, Soviet trained the North, USA trained the South, look who won?
>>
>>33736081
Had zero to do with training in Vietnam, and the south did quite well until the Arab oil crisis hit and they could not bring their combined arms against the north. That effectively meant the south and the north were both light infantry after that, and the north excelled at light infantry.
>>
>>33736111
That's the thing, how is the North excel at light infantry?
>>
>>33736111
In addition, the east was not effected by the AOC, so the mech units the north did have were full bore.

The script was flipped
>>
>>33736120
Different training doctrine.

US thought the ARVN should be trained like the us, and they were left with a fuckton of US equipment. And it worked.

Until the south could not feed said equipment.

Applied combined arms wrecks light infantry. Every god damn time.

It's just that nobody saw the AOC coming.

>Come on, so you are saying the US never train the ARVN at light infantry tactics?

No, that's like saying that I'm saying the ussr/China did not train the VC/NVA in combined arms. Missing the point completely. Pretty much to the point where if you don't get it, it's not worth explaining to you.

>I thought the Soviet was the one excelling at deep battle/combined arms,

They do, but you need ALOT of equipment to do it.
>>
>>33736173
>No, that's like saying that I'm saying the ussr/China did not train the VC/NVA in combined arms. Missing the point completely. Pretty much to the point where if you don't get it, it's not worth explaining to you.
Oh, so you are not going to debate then, aren't you?
>They do, but you need ALOT of equipment to do it.
And the North had the equipment and the superior infantries, funny how that work.
>>
>>33736185
>Oh, so you are not going to debate then, aren't you?

Nope. Debating retards is an exercise in futility. You are either pretending to not get it or actually don't. Either way, nope.

>And the North had the equipment

Not an overmatch to make deep battle work.

All of the people in this thread with "muh mudshit" are retards.

Its almost like when you have an ideologically driven force thats been fighting against the world largest power for almost 20 fucking years fighting one with none of those things they fucking lose.

It's the US's failed attempt at political conversion that makes us look dumb.

You can't give democracy to those who do not want it.

Would this be a drain on Russia's resources?

I know that the Taliban sells opium in Russia so Russia is most likely there to stop the sales but to convince the Taliban to stop they'd need to bribe them (either with weapons or money).

Yes but don't allow the creation of another state backed by a regional power. Syria and Iran will both continue to be a source of frustration as USA continues to expand its empire across the Middle East and will have to be destabilized or Balkanized.

>>33732767

because the US trained them

The talibans had ANA uniforms, ANA weapons, ANA vehicles, forged ANA id papers, ANA defectors in the attack unit. Heavy duty explosives. Plus some kind of heavy rpg that took out one of the main buildings for starters, Pretty neat attack really.
>>
>>33733678
all that and i can fuck little boys too? where do i sign?
>>
>>33733089
I've seen some Afghans like that. There are pockets of Pashtuns and other ethnicities in the eastern mountains of Afghanistan where they have fair skin and red/brown hair.
>>
>>33733382
That's what happens, and they are MUCH better than the ANA or ANP.

The Arbaki, or "Afghan Local Police" as they came to be known by desk-jockeys who needed to sell it to congress, legitimately want to stabilize their home. A Tajik from Kunduz could'nt give less of a shit about a Pashtun from Ghazni, but he will definitely give a shit about another Tajik in trouble with the taliban in the villages around Kunduz.
Long story short, culturally, we need to be fostering a feudal system in Afghanistan, not a federal democracy. These guys care about charisma and piety, not the nebulous idea of "Afghanistan".
>>
>>33734427
That guy is a Hazara. They speak a dialect of Hazaragi that has lots of Mongolic/Turkic words in it. They're also Shiite Muslims and most of the Afghans fighting alongside the Iranians in Syria are Hazaras.

For example, instead of using 'pedar' for 'father', they use 'ata' (like Ataturk).
>>
>>33739542
>they are MUCH better than the ANA or ANP

That's not always the case. Sometimes they're just as bad or worse than everyone else. Sometimes they're just Taliban that's been paid off by the government, but still harass the public and take bribes.
>>
>>33739578
Yup, I used to work with ANA and they had nothing positive to say about the ANP and ALP. They're both infamous for thievery.
>>
>>33739465
Plus the only people who have weapons on them on Afghan bases are guards. Weapons are locked away from soldiers unless they're pulling guard duty or going on missions.

Believe it or not, green-on-blue attacks affect Afghans more than us.
>>
After Desert Storm one of my friends had to train Kuwaitis. The hardest part was making them take it seriously. Reservists thought the 5 minutes they spent with a gun per year was the perfect time to goof off. He had to teach them to hit the target range. Not the targets ON the range, the range itself. They had been aiming at the adjacent guard tower and missing.

I don't know what the issue with Afghans is, but for Kuwait it was time. They spent so little time in uniform it was more like a holiday than anything else. My friend didn't have enough time as well, and he wasn't chomping at the bit to stay either.

9)Cowardly
10)Backstabbing

It's not particularly bad for Americs image though, the reason Afghanistan is such a shithole is soviet occupation basically destroyed the place and left is in the stoneage, which it has just got back out off from the British punitive expedition which put it in the stoneage.

So of course you don't link the documentary.

Their casualty level is because they deserve it. They aren't fighting FOR anything. They had years to learn but sandnigs resent learning.

The South weren't patriots and had nothing to fight for. The North wanted their fucking COUNTRY back from a puppet government. All SVN governments were worse than Communism.

I don't even understand how Afghanistan is supposed to maintain first world infantry equipment/tanks/helicopters without heavy foreign investment. And for what?
