In a bold new offensive, US and NATO forces are turning to Afghan militias for help. More feared than the Taliban, and wearing the weapons and impunity of the US army - has a monster been created?
"The Americans were in charge, but it was our own people who did the dirty work", says Abdul Khaliq, remembering when an Afghan militia burst into his family home in Kandahar, and sprayed 200 bullets at his son. They left his wife paralysed, and made off with the family's savings. The West is increasingly reliant on irregular forces but they're also well aware that 'militia' is a dirty word. A senior US military source explains how they've "turned [some militia] regular" with uniforms, training and identity badges. Despite this, the militia still retain loyalty to the warlords who recruited them and are "almost unaccountable" for their actions. The empowering of militia, thought to be responsible for assassinations and civilian killings, is a source of constant fear for locals: "If someone kills someone the government itself says don't touch him". But, according to one American diplomat, the dire and deteriorating state of security in Afghanistan, is forcing commanders to make compromises: "There is no choice but to deal with local power brokers and that means the warlords and their men."

The only thing that has gotten better in Afghanistan is the opium production.
it was boosted with american soldiers protection and demand for it raised from 200% drop during the taliban to 70% which is they are trying to remove but then when occupied america comes in = 500% o.o!!
It always creeps me out seeing small girls with make-up... Its just something really wrong....
Apart from opium productions nothing else had changed for us.
Taliban got rid of opium productions and NATO,s backed warlords regime had increased the production of opium to 100%.
Just like that guy said. Today you will give me weapons to fight the Talibans then later you will take the weapons from me. By then I will have more enemies but no way to defend myself. Very very wise.
I have met the enemy and it is us
Same shit we've done all over the world for a few decades now.
the family victims here are now hereby required to partake into Jihad to protect themselves and inflict revenge for they have been wronged and dishonoured.
americans exporting war and importing chinese goods...lol
USA please be sure before you target someone as a terrorist and put innocent people in harms way
Looks like Afghans killing Afghans to me
there is a saying that says; ' he who enters between an onion and its skin becomes smelly therewith '. that is what is happening to US and its allies in Afghanistan.
The USA did this the USA did that. When we don't do something we still get hate.
We are damned if we do and damned if we don't.
I watched this but now I wish I didn't.
Hearts and minds folks, hearts and minds.
Gosh..I hope I'm a fellow that lives a long happy and good life and is long buried in my eternal slumber so I'm not around to witness when the chickens come home to roost..
Can't go wrong with the Salvadorian option
*karzais brother is died... thats how i figured this documentary is old. very old*
I think this was the kind of story Julian Assange made public… and instead of investigating the „mistakes“, they locked up Assange. I was on the NATO ISAF mission in Afghanistan, and I‘m so disappointed 😔 😢
This is what we risked our lives for?? Seriously??
Woah.

You report this when the US does it, but where are your reports when operations much worse than this are conducted by the Pakistani FC? Last week they abducted and executed an 8 year old in Turbat.
Lies... 200 rounds.... really... that would be annoying on a night raid to sit there an listen to a guy unloading 200 rounds...
He was the target of the raid so silence and quickness isnt needed when Killing him
