Its takes time to build a properly equipped and trained army, one that can effectively fight in the field and becomes more then a band of thugs.

I don't think sending money and equipment is enough and it won't create a professional army.

I do think that NATO can create mixed training cadres without requiring 100's of troops from Canada.

The problem is that the government is incompetant and corrupt, and I have no doubt that the minute that the last combat unit leaves that the government will be deposed, collapse or throw its lot in with the taliban.

Sadly the woman and children over there will be f##ked no matter what happens.
