I think this video points out why Afghanistan is a nightmare.... you build an Army around indviduals that have been kick out of their village, city, family to join the National Army. What better people!!!

In view of the video posted above, perhaps the QPs can speak to the quality of ANA SOF elements? I would think and hope that they are far above and beyond what was seen in the video; or are drug-use and lack of motivation a problem across the board?
