Just a random find, a snippet from a text in "Die Welt" that otherwise is behing a paywall. A German veteran, a sergeant mayor, told the reporter this:
"When I read on the news these days what is happening in Afghanistan: I am not surprised. We knew it was going to come that way. I once asked villagers: What is better, the time under the Taliban or the time with us now? The answer was: the Taliban. Because they are predictable and there was no corruption. Because calm without freedom and with Sharia law is more bearable than constant war with fear for the lives of women and children."
