The number of armed contractors in Afghanistan has increased more than 65% since Trump took office

Task and Purpose: The Pentagon’s most recent report on contractor personnel numbers for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2019 shows there are now 2,847 armed private security contractors supporting the Operation Freedom’s Sentinel mission in Afghanistan, up from the 1,722 armed contractors it reported in Jan. 2017. The use of armed security contractors seemed to be on the decline during President Barack Obama’s last year in office. In Jan. 2016, there were 1,083 armed contractors in Afghanistan, and in the following months, the number fluctuated but never rose above that level before it settled at 813 armed contractors reported in October.

    That is how the “coward schemers” were able
    to
    drastically minimize the invaders’ casualties comparable to far more deadly encounters by the locals- THAT IS
    A
    BLATANT VIOLATION
    OF
    INTERNATIONAL LAWS
    AND
    INSULT
    TO
    CIVILIZED
    HUMAN DECENCY
    ===
    ==
    =
    THE “RAT-FACED”
    CONTRACTOR
    WILL BE KICKED
    OUT
    LIKE
    THE MOSR COWARD SAVAGEST
    YOU
    COULD EVER
    IMAGINE- INSHAHLAH !.
