When I saw the thread title, I was half expecting to see this video. It shows what the U.S. trainers are having to deal with when it comes to Afghani army recruits:

mookiemookie's video fitts the thread title to a T.

I cringe when I listen to that military trainer in that video. Spouting off to a translator who presumably does his best to translate only the 'smart part', good luck finding it.

If the Americans don't know how to train soldiers or are unable to set up any kind of stability in Afghanistan, they should gtfo immediately. Any time they spend getting it wrong will only add more gasoline to the fire.

And it's interesting although not surprising to see the 'left' in US agreeing that the Afghanis are 'bad soldiers'. How can they be bad when they're whooping your butts when it comes to the war?

It's a two way street. You can't train someone who has no interest in being trained or pride in what they do.

Exactly!
And that re-inforces OTH's point: "GTFO".
Why waste american (and others, danes included) lives protecting people who have no interest in learning how to protect themselves?
The recruits seem to be living in Never Never Land, with no intension of leaving.
