I would integrate SFs types into the humanitarian/social service outreach components, the proverbial armed peace corps. Professionals in civilian attire, essentially turf guards, high risk, but the Taliban would be forced to escalate their opposition once services were flowing and ground was being gained - they couldnt bully and intimidate very easily when a wolf answers the door at the sheep's house - escalation on their part brings in rapid response teams capable of inflicting causalties and major disruption - a few may choose the hills over the easy duty of intimidating social workers - opinion only
