Most underreported consequence of the Iraq war IMO.

And I don't like the "announcement" of this, I smell trap. you DON"T TELL THE MEDIA What you are about to DO in such detail, exact period, etc, with combat operations, because you automatically put some of them in coffins who otherwise wouldn't be "discovered" or "anticipated" or known WHAT TYPE of unit to expect.

This is utter stupidity!

Taliban have season fighters now and some left over still from the confilct with Russia. Not that we can't win or get most of it done, but why make it more difficult than it already will be and why cough up lives so easy.
