There are acceptable risks, unacceptable risks and pure gambles.
Looking at the stats for this years and noting that NATO halts routine joint patrols with Afghan forces that more than just me believes it has reached the "unacceptable risk" level.
It is also as much about the causes than just the actual risk itself.
You can teach "junior troops" as much as you like but - to be brutally honest - how many of them - as opposed to officers and SNCOs - are capable of diplomacy/courtesy/discretion/and all those good things when interacting with the ANA?
Is this not where the friction point is?
