My thoughts exactly. My friends and classmates are putting their lives on the line for a government too cowardly to close with the enemy and kill him.
This now establishes a rewrite of the rules here in America:
If you kill someone and the cops chase you, go hide in a cemetary or a church. The cops can't touch you.
... But that isn't the way it works, is it? If you kill someone and hide in a cemetary the cops will enter the cemetary and capture/kill you. So, apparently, protecting savages in a cemetary is good enough for the Taliban, but not for American citizens.
