Afghanistan
Afghan army suffers heavy combat losses, resignations, desertions.
2015-03-04
[The Peninsula] Washington--Afghan security forces are suffering heavy casualties on the battlefield and large numbers of troops are resigning or deserting their units, a new report said Tuesday.

The US military also has overestimated the size of the Afghan police and army by a significant margin, the special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction, John Sopko, said in a report to Congress.

The Afghan army "continues to suffer serious combat losses," SIGAR wrote.

Was I wrong?
