Stars & Stripes<\/a> writes this morning that DoD had an epiphany and decided that maybe they ought to put measures in place to protect US troops from Taliban infiltrators;<\/p>\n

Although Defense Department investigators couldn\u2019t always nail down a cause, only a minority of attacks \u2014 which total about 45 and have killed about 70 U.S. and allied troops \u2014 are believed to be carried out by infiltrators.<\/p>\n

DOD officials who testified before the House Armed Services Committee agreed the coalition needs to improve its monitoring of armed Afghans who work with U.S. troops, particularly because U.S. strategy calls for troops to increasingly work as embedded advisers with Afghan units.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gee, ya think? Here’s one way; we wrote about Major Gul<\/a>, the Afghani who was radicalized when he moved to Pakistan and then came back and proclaimed that he came back to kill Americans. I’m no high speed military investigator, but I’m thinking that a guy who has told everyone he wanted to kill Americans shouldn’t be around Americans with a loaded gun. Now I have no real experience in this area, but I’m just making a guess. <\/p>\n

Maybe I’m way off base by suggesting that people with Gul’s history shouldn’t be in a job around Americans while he has a gun, maybe there’s some regular fucking procedure that’s too nuanced for me to understand. <\/p>\n

And I like how they say there’s no evidence of an organized effort against Americans…well, aside from the fact that it’s happened “only” 45 times in recent months costing 70 American lives. <\/p>\n

Oh, well, WTF are they worried about then?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
