How to win a war where the enemy refuses to play by the rules? Find a
soldier who does not give a damn about them either.
The US is training 1000 Serb elite paramilitary troops, who were last
time engaged in ethnic cleansing operations in Kosovo in 1999, for
anti-terrorist duties in Afghanistan. While the use of ostensibly
anti-Muslim fighters in a Muslim country could be seen as a
provocation, Afghans are not behaving friendly to any foreign
soldiers.
Interestingly, to avoid compunctions about ICC, thousand Serbs are
not going to be under NATO command in Kabul, but directly under the
US command.
