Whats the solution?
All joking aside, this seems to be a prominent problem. A while back there was an article stating that some Taliban fighters escaped a compound by dressing up as women.
Is there an effective way to counter these tactics without being disrespectful and insensitive towards the civilian populace and their culture? It is my understanding that it is a great dishonor for an Afghani man to have his wife searched / "frisked" by our soldiers, which is also why there has been such leniency towards this matter in the past. However, this "respectfulness" on our side seems to create a giant loophole for the enemy.
