After an American soldier allegedly killed 16 Afghan civilians, the United States says it won't alter its commitment to protecting Afghans.
A professional soldier, if they are to survive a mission that has no profound meaning studies his enemy, ie: Vietnam. There was a lot of soldiers that considered themselves self-contained in their survival. If there is a unit out of Seattle that is renegade, that is a culture, within the military defined by soldiers that solve their own problems.
"The only good soldier is one that is still alive."
The military leadership has lost the confidence of soldiers deployed at the whim of diplomats.
The mission of the USA is to train Afghan soldiers that was obvious when they found the corrupted Korans leading to this incident. But, the presence of Christian soldiers is becoming a dominant issue for the Afghan people whom no longer believe they are safe. It is time to move the training mission to Turkey and leave the people of Afghan alone. Their own soldiers have to do the job and it is time they did.
