US forces in Afghanistan are working on a terrible idea for arming villagers in tribal areas to guard themselves against better-equipped and better-trained Taliban fighters in the area. No details are clear on how the plan would work.
Perhaps they're thinking about the successful Awakening Councils in Iraq, if they're thinking at all, but the circumstances in tribal Afghanistan are so incredibly different the program is likely to cause havoc.
