#1 The picture this article paints of officers paying attention to "metrics" reminds me of McNamara and his "free fire zones" and body counts. I thought the military had sworn "never again."

The fact that the old (bad) habits are back is very depressing.

#2 We must have counted off more Taliban dead than exist, right here from the ANSDF reports.

'500 killed. 1000 Taliban killed. Amazing operation. Send more money, we've almost won!' Dishonest sunni bastards.

#3 ^^^^ yep, I've always thought those body counts were mighty high.
