The Horrible Afghan National Police
BY Herschel Smith

We have covered the Afghan National Police in their own separate category, and the links and prose are there to be studied. I have the best readers on the web, and yet another sad example comes to us via reader amarriott, an incident in which more than 70 Afghan National Police voluntarily surrendered their weapons and body armor to 10 Taliban. It happened in the Baghlan Province. See 3:30 into the video.
Folks, this isn’t an “I told you so moment.” It’s not a time to preen or posture. This is sad – very sad and depressing. Training the ANSF is seen as the ticket out of Afghanistan for some nations who do not yet understand what General Petraeus said, i.e., that of the long war, the campaign for Afghanistan would be the longest.
