Afghanistan's Military Is Overhauling Its War Strategy To Limit Its Losses
*Reuters:* *As Taliban advances, Afghan military overhauls war strategy to limit losses* KABUL (Reuters) -Reeling from a surge in battlefield losses, Afghanistan's military is overhauling its war strategy against the Taliban to concentrate forces around the most critical areas like Kabul and other cities, border crossings and vital infrastructure, Afghan and U.S. officials say. The politically perilous strategy will inevitably cede territory to Taliban insurgents. But officials say it appears to be a military necessity as over-stretched Afghan troops try to prevent the loss of p... read more
