Biggest Problem in the Army of Afghanistan

A person has applied for job and wants to be a security guard for an NGO in Kabul – Afghanistan.

Director of NGO: Salam, how are you?

Applicant: Fine thanks, sir.

Director of NGO: I have read your CV in detail. It is quite impressive. You worked for the Army as an officer?

Applicant: Yes sir, I have the most relevant experience and even I am over qualified for a security guard.

Director of NGO: Yes. I was also thinking like that. Why are you applying for such a minor job when you had such a big position in the army and why did you leave.

Applicant: Sir, can I trust you? and would you believe me if I tell you the truth?

Director of NGO: Sure. It would be personal just between you and me. Tell me what is it?

Applicant: It is a nice job and I have a group of people working as a team under my command. But …
Director of NGO: But what?

Applicant: but the problem is that I can’t continue anymore?

Director of NGO: Why not? Are you afraid of the Taliban?

Applicant: This job is very dangerous. I fight the Taliban very well and I am not afraid of them. The salary is very low and I don’t have any kind of health insurance or other benefits. If I die or get injured and become a handicap, there are no salaries; there are no other benefits for my family so that they can survive after my death. I am sure that I will not get these things when I work with you, but I will get lower security risks. In my job, it is not the Taliban who kill us. I had many friends who were braver and stronger than me and they were doing a great job. They were all murdered from behind when they were fighting in the front line.

Director of NGO: What do you mean by that? Who killed them?

Applicant: I don’t know, sir. When we fight the Taliban very well, we get shot from behind in mysterious ways. I am not sure if it is an ethnic problem inside the army or it is a religious issue or some other problems. I just know that this kind of problem exists there and I don’t want to die the same way as my friends died. I think working with the Afghan Army right now means like joining the Army of Taliban to fight against their friends. If you can succeed to defeat their friends, they will kill you.

Director of NGO: Is there any other problem?

Applicant: Yes sir. The other problem is that when we go to their hidden places on the top of the mountains, they are highly equipped with the same guns and equipment that we have. Somebody gives them the same guns and I think only helicopters can equip them so nicely on the top of the mountains. Everything we get in the army here inside the city, they get the same things and even better and more than us on the top of the mountains. Our system and government fails to support us in the highly emergency and urgent cases but their supporters never fail even though their logistics is much more costly and difficult comparing to ours.
