Gary Owen, Vice News: The Real Reason the US Military Was So Secretive About Afghanistan
WNU Editor: This is the "money quote" ....
.... Campbell doesn't care if people know how much America spent on literacy training, or how many planes are in the Afghan air force. What he cares about is people knowing that the army that's supposedly taking over for the US is disappearing. It's impossible for the ANA to miss troop strength goals this badly and survive.
In short .... the Afghan Army cannot make up the soldiers that it is losing through combat and the usual attrition. If this is true ....it is only a matter of time before this shortfall in troops will reach the breaking point, and someone will need to step in .... which in this case I can only presume will be the U.S..
