Homemade bombs beat high-tech? Afghan war failure looms

Aside from roadside explosives and Taliban and Al-Qaeda fighters, NATO forces in Afghanistan are increasingly under attack by a new foe - friendly Afghan forces. Two more US troops were shot yesterday in an 'insider' shooting episode - bringing the total to a dozen soldiers in just over a week. And, as RT's Gayane Chichakyan reports - this is a problem that multibillion dollar defense projects just can't solve.

russians came to afghanistan and in ten years made afghan army the biggest and best army in region but what USA army is doing, just bringing thieves to power

Like the U.S. and Russia, the only way this can be solve is if everyone has the same capability and understand that if they fight they will kill each other. U.S. generals said "We don't like to play fair." U.S.A. job is to keep developing 3rd world countries especially enemy countries the same while taking they natural resources. My guess is if your strong enough it is not stealing?
