The enemy isn't as cowardly as ya think. Usually, the higher up you go, the bigger the cowards are. The young ones, and guys who just need money, will fight in a second, and die...but the commanders are usually huge cowards that only think of themselves. It's not as easy for them to blend in in Afghanistan as it is in Iraq...it's more country fighting, and a bad guy is pretty easy to point out. If he has sneakers on, you can almost guarantee he's a bad guy, lol. Just little things like that. But they'll fight, but always either die or run. They can't win. In my opinion, Al Qaeda is usually made up of many more cowards than the Taliban. Arabs tend to be like that...Pashtuns in Afghan, not so much.

Our boys still destroy them, bad....it's just tough these days because our boys have one hand tied behind their backs.

Also, there has been a huge rise in green on blue attacks, which is Afghan National Police and Afghan Army attacking our guys. It's usually over something little, but in some cases it can be attributed to the Taliban. It's a huge problem, and this has been the worst year for it by far. It's usually ANP that do the backstabbing, but Afghan Army do it too. It's a bitch, because our guys take those idiots on every operation now.

Iran has historically had problems with the Taliban, but they've supported them while we've been fighting them. There's been countless weapon caches, intel, IED ingredients, ect., that has shown Iranian involvement over the years, it just doesn't make the news these days. I think it was a mistake that we didn't really do anything when we found proof of Iran helping the Taliban out...but hell, the Paki's have been giving them aid for just as long, and we still send millions to them.

This shit never ends dudes...
