WASHINGTON – The military is
under-reporting the number of times that Afghan soldiers and police open
fire on American and other foreign troops.
The U.S.-led coalition routinely reports each time an American or
foreign solider is killed by an Afghan in uniform. But The Associated
Press has learned it does not report insider attacks in which the Afghan
wounds -- or misses -- his U.S. or allied target. It also does not
report the wounding of troops who were attacked alongside those who were
killed.
Such attacks reveal a level of mistrust and ill will between the
U.S.-led coalition and its Afghan counterparts in an increasingly
unpopular war. The U.S. and its military partners are working more
closely with Afghan troops in preparation for handing off security
responsibility to them by the end of 2014.

Our "leaders" don't want "we, the people", who FUND this crap, to know the real truth, which is, after 11 years and thousands of dead, plus dozens of thousands of wounded, and a trillion dollars (trust THAT figure??), that country is STILL a stone age, third world cesspool. Our tropps don't even go out at night. Thats how much we are in control. We HIDE at night. OUR children (not the children of our "leaders", of course) come home in boxes, or without legs, arms, and eyes. And in return, we are told lies and falsehoods about the "war". But profits and stock prices are up, up, up! Drenched in blood.
