All a one sided argument as usual,
/// their families killed by our troops who have neen sided with one of the corrupt factions currently fighting for control of their country.///
Haven't their own people including the Taliban killed many of their own as well, just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
You also referred to the elected Afghanistan Government as corrupt, admittedly not to Western standards, but who do you wish to be in power, the Taliban?
Regarding the NATO forces killing civilians, that is a fact of war, just take how many civilians were killed during WW2,, but then that was deliberate killing.
The difference in Afghanistan being the NATO troops take every precaution necessary to protect civilians, even at the risk of getting killed or maimed themselves.
If they weren't fighting with one hand behind their back, and used every advanced weaponry at their disposal, we could have been out of Afghanistan years ago.
