One thing for sure - they valued “diversity” or else they were kicked out.

The bravery of fighting men depends a lot onwhat they believe will happen if they are killed in battle.

In the US during WWII there was the expression: “there are no atheists in foxholes”

Foe the Taliban:
“Islamic leaders, seeking to motivate would be suicide bombers, inducing them to commit murder in the name of Allah, have been quoting Islamic sources, which promise 72 Virgins in Paradise to those who kill and are killed in Jihad for Allah.”

For the regular Afghan soldiers:
Who knows?

Reminds me of a SCRUM project. All the boxes are checked and it looks great on all the executive tracking spreadsheets, but the actual end product is crap.

3rd world islamic armies have a reputation for folding up when faced with a determined opponent. The Israelis have demonstrated this for years.

The latest example was when isis in Iraq took over half the country in pick up trucks. They captured Mosul while entire iraqi divisions abandoned equipment and fled. isis made it to the suburbs of Baghdad before they were stopped by shiite militias, not govt troops.

Why did the “experts” at dod figure things were different this time?
