"WASHINGTON (AP) — Amid a battlefield stalemate in Afghanistan , the U.S. military has stopped releasing information often cited to measure progress in America’s longest war, calling it of little value in fighting the Taliban insurgency.
The move fits a trend of less information being released about the war in recent years, often at the insistence of the Afghan government, which had previously stopped the U.S. military from disclosing the number of Afghans killed in battle as well as overall attrition within the Afghan army....? |
I am not certain of the intent but I would hope it moves us farther away from the metrics driven mindset......you can't measure insurgencies and counterinsurgencies with metrics......the endstate is all that matters
