Why can't a soldier in Afghanistan kill the taliban?

Because the Taliban are funded by the US and British. All the Taliban in Afghanistan are pakistanies. They are there to destroy Afghanistan not to bring peace.

In Afghanistan, the Taliban destroyed the Bamyan Buddhas which were beautiful World Treasures because they "promoted idolatry" and the Ansar ad-Dine in Mali are starting to destroy shrines in Timbuktu for the same purpose.
