#1 ...If my math is right then that means they took a 15% loss in the last year losing the ghosts and "changes in the way troops are counted" (likely 'assistants' and 'aides' who were kicking a good part of their salaries back to the unit commanders).

I have a very bad feeling that this is just the tip of the iceberg. It almost certainly means that when the Taliban makes its move, the Afghan security forces will simply fade away, and we're back to 9/10.
