The other quote is not in support of the FRI report, but an illustration of perception and is written by an Afghan veteran:
I don't know about anyone else, but my neighbor doesn't live in my basement, where he alternates between conducting a major remodeling job and beating my kids when they are bad, and giving them money when they are good; while taking the occasional pot shot out the window at my actual neighbor who he is in a dispute with.

ISAF is more like a crazy houseguest. That is a very different thing than a neighbor.
