This is not soviet era when they murdered innocent Afghans if they were caught praying, fasting and other religious activities no one has left this government be sure of that!

100 to 200 NATO soldiers are not potatoes so refrain from posting childish stats!

Can you provide rehabilitation efforts taken for them and how to introduce them back to the society to lead normal life, and policies to ensure they won't revert back. In India, we have such programs, would like to know what's been done in Afghanistan.
Rehabilitation plays a crucial part in bringing down extremism in a region, as it offers second choice to terrorists who are fed up of war and have thoughts of leaving terrorism.

There comes many TV spots where they show them busy in their lives where many of them are provided local rickshaws, carpenter tools, mechanics, tractors etc.. these funds are with High Peace Council and they supervise the programs.

It Is Good For Afghanistan that Sense In Prevailing In Few Taliban Fighter's. May Be sooner, Other Will Follow There Foot Steps & Leave the Path Of Destruction. Everyone One Would Love To See Happy & Prosperous Afghanistan.

A question for brother Sher Malang... we can't possibly ascertain the motives behind every "Talib" who lays down the arms, but have there been any reports regarding any kind of retribution by their former Taliban buddies for deserting the cause against any of them?

Build a battalion of regular army from the surrendered talibs ably helped by training from Russia and Iran.

Would do a lot good.Worth a thought.

Some feel that NATO is becoming war weary. But with assured defence support for Afghan forces for 10 years from 2014 and civil support from other countries, I am doubtful about Taliban surviving the whole distance to be a threat. Normally Afghanistan is graveyard to foreign forces but with the foreign forces gone from 2014 except for the hidden hand of U.S special forces, that foreign factor is removed and I think the sensible ones among Taliban will call it a day. Atmost Taliban will be an insurgency group striking at soft targets.

I think it may backfire....rather understand Taliban more by help of these surrendered Talibanis...take their help in preparing counter strategy.

Bringing them back to battlefield might result in change of heart if they see any sign of wrong doings by ANA or ISAF. We have seen enough ANA shootings on ISAF soldiers for ex. one which resulted due to video posted on US soldiers taking a leak on killed militants.

These people generally wants to have a normal life as they are fed up of fighting or don't believe in cause anymore. If they prosper then many will follow the suit.
