I get the feeling that we are not seeing a lot of war refugees from Afghanistan is that the Taliban will kill anyone who dares to pack a suitcase.

They are using these potential refugees as shields against any possible tactical weapon being used against them. And our ROE's ensure that will continue indefinitely.

Those who think that by causing some collateral damage, we would be losing the support of the "civilians" are idiots.

We do not have the support of the "civilian" population because they fear the Taliban more than they fear us.

Great insight.

The Arabian/muslim culture is not dominated by reason it is dominated by the strong hand. Transforming this culture will take generations, but in order to do it you first have to win and that means kill the opposition.
