So how are the "resurgent" Afghans doing? Surely they are pretty impressive in driving us out, right?
Not quite, as one Marine who also fought in Iraq stated:
"I'm not impressed with them," Leon, 25, of Herndon, Va., said this past week from a Marines camp deep in the southern province of Helmand, where U.S. forces are challenging Taliban insurgents and their devastating use of IEDs, or homemade bombs. "I expected more of a stand-and-fight. All these guys do is IEDs."
On the other hand, they do evade to live a bit longer. Which makes them tougher to kill.
And of course, they both used human shields to fight us.
Just stop thinking of the Afghans as ten-foot tall warriors who can't be beat.
