US SOLDIERS KILLED IN AFGHANISTAN ROADSIDE BOMB BLAST IDENTIFIED“There’s an odor of mendacity throughout the Afghanistan issue,” Sopko said Wednesday. Despite the U.S. Air Force doing “a wonderful job” working with their Afghan counterparts, the Afghan military and police have been a “hopeless nightmare and a disaster,” Sopko said. When asked about what letter grade would be appropriate for the job the U.S. is doing, Sopko said a D-minus would be better than the job the Americans have been doing. Corruption within the Afghan military is also a serious problem below the officer level, Sopko stated. “You have a lot of corruption, a lot of incompetency and it’s seriously hurting the Afghan military,” he said.
