The Taliban have adopted a simple strategy to undermine U.S. efforts to transfer policing and military power to the Afghanistan government. They’re dressing as U.S. friendly local forces, infiltrating their ranks and causing carnage. “Taliban insurgents wearing police uniforms attacked a checkpoint in southern Afghanistan on Tuesday, killing three police officers,” the New York Times reports. “In a separate incident, NATO said that one of its service members was killed on Sunday after three individuals wearing Afghan police uniforms turned their guns on coalition troops, in another apparent ‘green on blue’ attack. The three attackers fled and were being sought, NATO said.” Although the media remains mum on the faux fragging, it’s proving a highly effective strategy for destroying Afghan and coalition troop morale. How do you fight that?
