APNewsBreak: New security for US troops

[BeHereNow]

11. Who, exactly are the "advisors" mentioned in the article?

"As a result of the shootings, more than 300 advisers were pulled out of the Afghan ministries. So far, several dozen have returned, but many will not go back until additional security measures are put in place by the Afghans. That would include better vetting procedures, background checks and physical security measures at the ministries. The military official also said some advisers may not return, since commanders have determined that some may no longer be needed in the jobs."

And what is exactly is our "mission?"

"Officials insist the killings have not hampered the U.S. mission in Afghanistan. But they come at a time when new, small advisory teams are heading into Afghanistan to beef up the training program, requiring them to work closely with Afghan military units."

And WHO the hell are these anonymous "Officials" always referred to in these stories?

FUBAR, that is what it is, this cluster-fuck of a "war."
