WASHINGTON- US Joint Chief of Staff Chairman General Joseph Dunford hasrevealed the reasons for losing the Afghan war. He said three reasons areimpeding the victory in Afghanistan.

1. high casualties among Afghan forces,

2. lack of cooperation between different security departments

3. lack of air and intelligence support forthe troops

These are the main reasons that have impeded the Afghan troops win inthe war so far.

“I was just in Afghanistan… couple of challenges we have had. Number one,we have suffered significant Afghan casualties; number two, the cooperationacross the Afghan police, Afghan army, intelligence organizations has notbeen quit what it needed to be; and number three, there were shortcapabilities, aviation capability, intelligence capability, surface firescapability. What we have done I believe is taking a look exactly what theAfghans need to gain momentum and retain momentum against the adversary,”Dunford said.

He said US and Afghan officials hold talks with Pakistan military andpolitical leaders and that a plan is under implementation to resolveKabul-Islamabad tension.

At the same event, US Defense Secretary James Mattis said they willwin the Afghan war by putting in place the US President DonaldTrump’s strategy for South Asia and Afghanistan.

“In South Asia and Afghanistan, uncertainty in the region has been replacedby certainty of President Trump’s South Asia strategy,” Mattis said.
