Band of Brothers
BAND OF BROTHERS
The last band of old active war dogs left over from the Russian and first Taliban war;
Amir Ismail Khan, claims say he has signed over to the Taliban, but, now said to have left the country into Iran.
Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum believed to be in Turkey (Feeling poorly) after yet another recent assassination attempt on him returning to Kabul.
Hamid Karzai ex- President of Afghanistan, still there, but, do the Afghans really want him back in power
Ahmed Shah Massoud deceased, but, his ghost may well rise again.
And; last but, not least Gulbaddin Hekmatyar (Snake in the grass).
Add on; but no War dog, Abdullah Abdullah (Just a political slurp).
