#1 ... including night-vision and listening equipment.

Lord, I hope we're not that dumb. Time for transfer to the Taliban would be measured in microseconds.

#2 So if the Taliban 'own the night' it should be safe to assume anybody out at night is Taliban, right? So send out a bunch of UAVs with night vision and zap anyone who's out.

#4 Why dont we own the night in Warzistan? We are not actively there.

The only thing that owns the night in Afghanistan is an AC-130. The Taliban call it the "Spitting Witch".
