PBS FRONTLINE looks at the controversial night raids conducted by the US Joint Services Operations Command (JSOC) in Afghanistan. These missions, carried out by special forces, are aimed at killing or capturing Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants. However, it is claimed that they have repeatedly resulted in targeting innocent civilians. Moreover, the US soldiers are oblivious to the cultural sensitivities of the Afghan society, leading to further alienating an already hostile population. These factors are now widely acknowledged to fuel the insurgency, by providing fresh recruits to the very enemy that these raids aim to neutralize. This has setup an unending cycle of violence that is rapidly escalating with time.
