Feb 9, 2012 - Nice to contrast this with the Colonel who just said this war is being lost. The Taliban are no longer in retreat, NATO's imperialism has failed

Feb 14, 2012 - More than $250 a month?So essentially you bought them out of the Taliban?

Feb 17, 2012 - Afghans need to UNITE and stop fighting one another because of petty issues like ethnicity.If unity can be achieved in Afghanistan, then I assure you that Pakistan, Iran and Arabs will think twice before meddling with out country. We allowed these creatures to interfere with our nation once and look what they did to it.. they burnt it to the ground and sent us thousand years backwards whilst they are living luxurious lifestyles. Unity is the key to success and progressiveness in Afghanistan

Feb 20, 2012 - maybe we should pay the people that were attacking them (ie: U.S. soldiers, Australian soldiers etc etc $250 per month to rebuild the country also?)

Feb 22, 2012 - Fair play to him and others, but it's America that destroyed their country and Al Qaeda. Not Pakistan.

Feb 24, 2012 - What about plastic landmines?

Feb 26, 2012 - A lot of Taliban are not religious extremists but simply making a living out of waging war. If NATO pays them more than the Taliban, they'd work for NATO. If NATO stops paying them, they'll go back to the Taliban. These people, for better or worse, have little in the way of values and ideology.

Mar 12, 2012 - A lot of men join the Taliban because they have no choice. They have no other source of income to support their families, the Taliban pays more than the afghan army. Deep inside, I think they know there fighting for a wrong cause, but its do or die. I think a lot of the fighters would leave, if they are given a chance to do so and this video is a perfect illustration of that. NATO employed these men, paying them more than a Afghan police officers and these men didn't think twice before leaving.

Apr 8, 2012 - @evettonTVwrong. Soviet russia invaded first THAT is what screwed their country up. We arent leveling buildings and.killing civilians are we? If anything were heloing their country in exchange for oil

Apr 15, 2012 - I've read some of what that Lieutenant-Colonel said about Afghanistan. He said it was pointless to continue to be there, and that lives were being thrown away for nothing and it's because the Afghans dont care about anything. The soldiers in the Afghan army are mostly working with the Taliban. The people of Afghan dont care about themselves and what new dictator steps in to rule over them, so why should America?.. I think we should leave and let them continue to kill each other. It's only fair.
