An Afghan National Army recruit exercises at a training center on
the outskirts of Kabul, Afghanistan. About one thousand new recruits
come out of the center each month adding to an army that is currently
30,000 strong. High desertion rates, lack of discipline and total
reliance on Americans for supplies and support has hindered what is
hoped will be a unifying institution for the country. |
