The Afghan National Army

THE AFGHAN NATIONAL ARMY "A true Afghan doesn't need a wage when he is fighting from his heart" Indiana Shaw . . . "The Afghan National Army who downed arms to the Taliban under a corrupt government that wasn't paying them, are now taking up arms with Ahmed Massoud to fight the Taliban, along with Amrullah Saleh who has now given Afghanistan new hope, and boy, now you will see the true grit of the Afghans, away you go lads, we are all behind you" . . . ; ) "See nothing was wasted, they just needed to get over the shock" . . . : )

I wish they’d fought to defend their country when they had help. Too little, too late… I hope not.

I don't know what it is called, Jenna, when you support someone you actually weaken them, history shows that Afghans are very proud people, but, also very resilient people, incrediable resilient, the US trained that army, now it is their turn to use what they have learnt, but, now it is for there own cause, and not the Americans, so we all hope not too, blessings . . . : )

You knows Tom, the effect it had on Afghanistan when Ahmed Shah Massoud was martyed, Hekmatyar was behind it, yet that scum bag is still around, and in office, he is like the greatest spy in the camp, as long as he is around I fear for Saleh and the ghost of Massoud *his son . . . ; /
