US warhawks want to send more US troops to Afghanistan "to train Afghan soldiers", and there is no political will in Congress to refuse. No amount of training will enable government soldiers to fight as well as religious fanatics. The only real decision for the US to make about the Afghan government is how long to prop it up.
