The facts about the Afghan Army the U.S. hands over to with the withdrawal in 2012- high risk of failure
10/15/2012
High desertion rate, high turnover, and other problems with the Afghan Army that the U.S. is handing over to with the withdrawal in 2012-2013. The increasing probability that the Afghan Army will fail to maintain control after the U.S. withdraws. The Karzai government has never tackled corruption and the issues arising from a flawed election leaving it without the kind of popular support it would need after the U.S. withdraws. The negotiations with the Taliban and the opposition have failed to produce any agreement on a post U.S withdrawal Afghanistan, putting the entire U.S. sacrifices in Afghanistan in lives lost, wounded veterans, and in the cost of the war at risk

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
