The goal of the U.S. mission in Afghanistan is to train the Afghan police to take control of security after U.S. and NATO forces have cleared a city like Marjah of all Taliban.
Residents and shop owners in Marjah are happy now, but they worry the Afghan police will start to shake them down like they have done in the past.

BREATHTAKING VIDEO OF U.S. IED HUNTERS IN AFGHANISTAN
This fascinating video shows a well-trained unit of IED hunters as they go out on a patrol in search of IEDs. They are hit by an IED before they can dismantle it.
The Oscar-nominated movie "The Hurt Locker" was made about units like these IED hunters.
The IED control hunters are hit by one after another IEDs before they can dismantle them, but they continue up the road very slowly and very carefully.
This is a riveting video.
