#3  I'm more inclined to think the Taliban subscribe to the tribal type of warfare. Plus, it's beginning to look like Pakistain Intelligence (who control and manipulate such State-interest-centered factors like the Taliban) is becoming a bit... distracted.

#2  Actually I do! The Afghan National Defense and Security Forces received jumping jacks training, while the Taliban never got any training.

Basically, the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces has better coordination and communication, and works together in teams, while the Talibans apparently subscribe to the Rambo school of soldering.
