@Kraemer_HB Ich benutze sie weil sie die quasi offiziellen amerikanischen Quellen sind, die Basis also für die Behauptung. Sicher haben sie im allgemeinen Recht.

@counterpunkt Formulated that way it is a reasonable claim. But all too often it is framed as per se hopeless … worth making the point that you do, which is that the blood price was very high.

US sources are repeating the claim that the “Afghan security forces were not prepared to fight”. According to Brookings, total Afghan military KIA 2007-2020 71,800! In 2020 Afghans took 30 casualties per DAY v. 8 US casualties for the entire year. https://t.co/AsK4U4wzKy
