US military stops releasing Afghanistan war informationBy ROBERT BURNS, 1 May 2019 WASHINGTON (AP) — Amid a battlefield stalemate in Afghanistan , the U.S. military has stopped releasing information often cited to measure progress in America’s longest war, calling it of little value in fighting the Taliban insurgency. The move fits a trend of less information being released about the war in recent years, often at the insistence of the Afghan government, which had previously stopped the U.S. military from disclosing the number of Afghans killed in battle as well as overall attrition within the Afghan army. The latest clampdown also aligns with President Donald Trump’s complaint that the U.S. gives away too much war information, although there is no evidence that this had any influence on the latest decision. www.apnews.com/253f6e2504ad4c72aed8a2d0499a673e

US Military Stops Releasing Information On Afghanistan Warby Tyler Durden, Thu, 05/02/2019 - 22:25 "I don’t think it makes sense," said Sopko. "The Afghan people know which districts are controlled by the Taliban. The Taliban obviously know which districts they control. Our military knows it. Everybody in Afghanistan knows it. The only people who don’t know what’s going on are the people who are paying for all of this, and that’s the American taxpayer." www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-05-02/us-military-stops-releasing-information-afghanistan-war
