I think we should have conducted more joint operations with the Afghan Army. That is how insurgencies should be fought.

SFC James J. Palmer IV aka "JP4" - Yea I remember all of the attacks were claimed by the Taliban due to infiltration of the Afghan Forces/ANA/ANP.

You're right MAJ, we should have continued the effort, including joint ops. My own unit was affected by both green on green and green on blue incidents as well, but this did not deter us from our goal. Especially as our own Afghan counterparts were also facing that same insider threat. But that also doesn't take away from the significant progress we were making as military advisers. If we're going to be pushed away by enemy insider tactics, then we have bigger problems as a military. The former President made a huge mistake pulling us out too early.
