>> [_] Anon 1486557 that's not spies, that's psyops and anyway, the taliban and hig control over 75% of newspapers and radio airwaves in the eastern areas of af and the fata of pk, along with their numerous "news" websites which they constantly use to publish bloated figures/total lies about their attacks. in large swaths of both af and pk they are the only source of war news. generally, within 30 mins after any attacks ordered from mid-level commanders take place they are spreading disinformation. they've blamed countless poorly aimed rocket/mortar attacks that have killed local nationals on nato/hn af forces and consistently bloated numbers killed by their suicide bombers/ambushes. incredible reports of abrams (no tanks currently being in use outside any of the fobs/cops/camps, etc) being destroyed by ieds, mid-level nato commanders' bodies being pid'd in destroyed mraps, etc.
>> [_] Anon 1486559 in truth discouraging anyone from joining these insurgent groups is just helping them, as their attacks have a huge attrition rate on their forces and are only truly effective against civilians. in general, anyone who joins these groups now are viewed as an expendable shield/resource for former taliban government members and freedom fighters from the soviet invasion.
>> [_] Anon 1486571 This is a rational decision when many of them fundie extremists are blogging the interwebs. Slippery slope yes, but op is most certainly being sensationalist and a poophead.
>> [_] Anon 1486583 without going into anything classified, here's some (fake) examples of the differences in reporting from what our convoys report and what the taliban report (if you have an opensource.gov account you can pull translated news reports from most countries in the world including a lot of taliban sources) isaf (international security assistance force, nato): dtg, grid coords. light convoy (humvees) reports 30 rds SAF (small arms fire, ak's) received at x grid coords on route x. no casualties no damage. convoy exfils. no impact on mission. taliban: rpg attack on mraps totally destroys 3 vehicles. 12 us soldiers confirmed dead.
>> [_] Anon 1486585 isaf: dtg, grid coords, village x. 3 rds idf (indirect fire, mortars, ballistic rockets, not meaning huge ones but ones about the size of the apache's unguided pod rockets) impact town x grid coords x grid coords x grid coords. poo (point of origin) grid coords. 4 civilians killed, ui (est 12) injured. mostly likely 122 mm (these are common rockets in af and iz, a ballistic rocket made by the soviets which can be fired from pretty much anywhere, they're practically like bottle rockets). assess likely target as local police station (grid coords). taliban: dutch forces ambushed by taliban forces calls in an airstrike hitting village x. 8 villagers killed. understand that the taliban don't hype things up in their reports, it's all with a straight face and presented as facts, not as obvious propaganda. there's no "evil american pigs" or anything like that, they try to make it look as legit as possible.

>> [_] Anon 1486621 Haha, conspiracy.
>> [_] Anon 1486665 So.... controversial evidence not important enough to buy the pro version?
