2:23 pm
personnel to make it more self-sufficient but the report points to several shortcomings including a lack of oversight and concern that some of the equipment may have gone missing on top of that it says afghan soldiers aren't getting adequate training which obviously humpers their ability to use the information gathered by those drones the u.s. army those thinks afghan forces now only require minimal assistance now the program was launched in anticipation of american troops leaving the country just to recap of course a peace deal was struck in february between washington and the taliban setting a 14 month deadline for the u.s. military to leave last month the number of personnel stationed in afghanistan was reduced to fewer than 9000 former u.s. marine intelligence officer scott ritter says the program has been a massive drain on american taxpayers. we know that the american military experience net ghana's stand has been plagued with oversight issues no matter what
