When troops leave the Afghan military after enlisting for their agreed time, they can then return to their lives and know a truth their villages can begin to appreciate.
Why isn't this a priority considering the Taliban are absolutely extremists set on destroying the people and government of Afghanistan? It should be and a high priority at that.
Sympathies to all the families of the dead. Why is this still continuing? I thought the Taliban were being accepted as peaceful people in Afghanistan? If not, then why not?
