Beating The Taliban By The Book - Afghanistan

August 2008Can America really beat the Taliban using a textbook? We take a look at the practice behind the theory, as Charlie Company attempt to follow the instructions laid out in the Counterinsurgency Field Manual.Seen as "a modern military textbook for winning hearts and minds and outwitting the enemy" the book also known as the COIN Manual, was written by some of America's finest military minds. So can the Americans really win by the book? The Manual states: "Counterinsurgents often achieve the most meaningful success in garnering public support...with activities that do not include killing insurgents". Yet for all the activities that exclude killing, this is a war. The American troops are at their best when under attack and the other side of war is reveling in the death of your enemies. "It's like the Superbowl; or like Manchester United and Chelsea, we're cheering for our team," claims one soldier laughing and celebrating with his comrades as Taliban are killed. The Manual also states: "Executing COIN operations is complex, demanding and tedious. There are no quick solutions." Few know this better than the soldiers who have been here for over a year and those forced to chop down trees with axes after their chainsaws fail to work. "It's almost like all of this stuff that we're doing is worthless." America expects its soldiers to be nation builders as well as warriors but are they simply asking too much?

There is little private employment because everything is made in China. Americans Make nothing but shit. Really they produce nothing.

The rich whites or educated ones and and some token blacks work for contracts for defence companies and the rest of nation lives mostly on government aid. Its a high stardard but all barrowed from China and Europe T - Bills. What muslim must do is drive cost up. I live here in florida and man the blacks live third world. The whites say the get handouts but the whites have the all government jobs.

saywow2002 Your vocabulary has not improved and neither have your ideas. Us 'morons' listen to reasons and make up our minds that's why, after reading what you've said, I pretty much demonstrated in my previous postings that you couln't reason your way out of cardboard box if you tried. You call people names and hope that makes you sound smart - think again - but don't hurt yourself doing that.

The US Army certainly have good intentions, but their efforts at activities other than combat are amazlingly ham-fisted.Hopefully that will change as training and the Army's culture changes (but I doubt it will).
