    Green Berets Just Exposed Something Obama Was Trying to Hide in Afghanistan

    Mad World News

    Obama did NOT want America to hear what the Green Berets just publicly exposed about Afghanistan... this could ruin his entire agenda.

    This was a bold move to come forward with this.

    The Green Berets Just Exposed Something Obama Was Trying to Hide in Afghanistan

    President Obama has declared the war in Afghanistan to be virtually over and has set 2016 as the date when all U.S. forces will be removed from the country, although there is a chance that up to 10,000 soldiers could remain there in perpetuity.
    The war in Afghanistan was a victory in the initial months after the invasion but has since become a quagmire during the following decade of occupation. The mismanagement of the war by the Obama administration has guaranteed that there is no longer any chance of emerging victorious.

    Now, as our troops head home, “pink slips” in hand, they leave behind an Afghan security force that is utterly incapable of defending the fledgling nation from a resurgent Taliban offensive, according to a scathing report from the Washington Times.
    Elite Green Beret Special Forces soldiers, who have been tasked with training and supporting the Afghan security forces, say that the Afghans are incompetent and often hide and refuse to fight during operations, while also being completely unable to effectively move at night or coordinate engagements with close air support.
    The Green Berets are sharing stories of Afghan forces hiding in wooded areas or behind rocks instead of fighting the Taliban, and refusing to take the lead in village clearing operations.

    At this point in time, U.S. forces are supposed to only be serving in a support and advisory role, with the Afghan forces “on point” (taking the lead in operations). But that doesn’t happen, according to the American troops who end up having to lead the operations.
    One officer told the Times, “When we leave, the ANA (Afghan National Army) will scatter like leaves in a stiff breeze.”
    Retired Army Maj. Gen. Robert Scales says that official “spin” from the government is the biggest problem, but that Green Berets will cut right through the spin and tell the truth.
    “No one I know in private moments will say that we’re doing well in Afghanistan,” Mr. Scales said. “I think what you’re hearing from [special operations forces] is that it is world-famous for never following the narrative. They are going to come back and tell the truth.
    “And the truth is the Afghans don’t believe American aid and assistance are going to last that long. And so the Afghans are willing to play this war out at their pace,” Mr. Scales said. “There are no illusions about the competence of the ANA. Zero.”
    Complicating matters even further are reports that more than 80,000 of the Afghan security forces trained by U.S. troops are actually Taliban or Al-Qaeda operatives that have infiltrated the Afghan forces.
    Once Americans finally leave, the Taliban will sweep back through the country and reassert the control they once held before the 2001 invasion, and the Afghan forces will be unable to stop them.
    We will likely see a repeat of the fall of Iraq take place in Afghanistan in just a couple of years, as hard fought gains that were won by the blood, sweat, and tears of American soldiers and Marines will essentially be handed back over to the radical Islamists, who will be using training and weapons provided by U.S. troops and American taxpayer dollars.
    Please share this on Facebook and Twitter if you are saddened by how the Afghanistan war has become an utter failure under the Obama administration.

    That's the way that these folks fight. We sometimes have a romantic notion of them, which is taken from Hollywood films. In the romantic version, Afghans carefully fire their rifle from a long distance, picking off anybody who is moving against them. What they actually do is more like what the Green Berets are describing: pop up form behind a rock and spray the general area oposite them with bullets, then duck back down.

    I don't know about the infiltration by the Taliban. I suspect that Afghans think that since we're leaving, they'll have to deal with them. That probably means that there will be pockets of modernity in Kabul, and repression of women in the countryside.

    We do need to use security forces, to find out if the Taliban are plotting another strike against us or a strike against our allies. Then we need go in and kill those people. Then let the Afghans go back to settling their own scores.
