Six US troops killed by one of our US trained "allies". Past time for the US to just stay home and tell other nations to go away.  >:(

What I do not understand is why indigenous employee's being hired are not "vetted" by polygraph testing when initially hired ( or going through the process ), and then being tested periodically. Would avoid , or help avoid, such things that have happened in Iraq and Afghanistan.
As an aside, it said that a true sociopath can "pass" a polygraph test....I wonder if tests have been done ( in control groups ) to see if a religious zeleot can also "pass". The results would be interesting.

I think its more of a case of "wolf in sheep’s clothing" ya think?  Obviously that dude was no ally.

Cetainly not the first time Good guys were killed by bad guys in good guy uniforms!  ::)

I dont care what the Afghan Interior Minister, Zemeri Bashary, said!
“Owning a handgun doesn’t make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician.”
