The Upcoming Battle for Kandahar

The Upcoming Battle for Kandahar Our military ring customers who are serving in Afghanistan are gearing up for the fight for control of that territory which should occur around the first part of this summer. The battle should be a low intensity conflict which means that there will be just as much diplomacy as shooting going on.

Our troops will be in danger and there will be some casualties but resistance should be lower than the impression of war that we have in our minds. At the current time our military ring customers who are in country are working on gaing control of the areas around the city by cutting off the supply routes into and out of the city and by working to capture the hearts and minds of the Afghan prople with good relationships. In essence the battle has already started because of the activities of our custom military ring customers.

The battle should be over before Ramadan. This battle is symbolic in the sense that Kandahar is the hub and backbone of the Talibans operations in the area. So the feeling is that taking this area from them will will break their backs and hopefully make them lose heart in their committment to fight. The Afghan government is also offering many incentives to ex Taliban fighters to reassimilate them into society. Hopefully this combination of the offensive and the positive incentives will defuse the Taliban and bring peace to the region.
