A brief quote of AAN’s Thomas Ruttig on the future NATO training mission in Afghanistan:

“’If the Afghan government and Afghans want this, this is good,’ said Thomas Ruttig, a co-director of the Afghanistan Analysts Network. ‘They need training, not such in how to fight but on the rules that govern war in the modern world,’ he added, pointing to U.N. reports on civilian casualties in the hands of the ANSF.
