The shootings also have thrown doubts onto one of the pillars of the U.S.-led coalition\u2019s planned withdrawal by the end of 2014 \u2014 training Afghan forces so they can take the lead for security in the country.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe training of the ALP recruits has been paused while we go through this revetting process to take a look at this process to see if there\u2019s anything that we can improve,\u201d Col. Harrell said. \u201cIt may take a month. It may take two months. We don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, lemme, recap. Two months ago, NATO allowed the US troops to face their desks towards the doors of their offices, a few weeks ago, they let the troops arm themselves (because they weren&#8217;t allowed to arm themselves in the war zone) and now they&#8217;re going to stop training potential terrorists. I hope the State Department approves of all of these radical changes in the strategy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Associated Press reports that NATO has halted some training of Afghanforces so that the Americans &hellip; <a title=\"Some training of Afghan nationals halted\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=31868\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Some training of Afghan nationals halted<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=31868"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31868\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=31868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=31868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=31868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
