A Warning about Accepting Afghan Forces, Coming from Germany By Richard Miller (London)

No, the Afghan forces are not coming from Germany, the warning is coming from a former Afghanistan commander, Dr. Thomas Sarholz, retired colonel in the Bundeswehr. “As far as the local forces are concerned, I have a different approach from that which is usually spread in the media.” His observation: “That these local forces all now want to come to us does not surprise me; they had gained a very precise insight into our standard of living. Inwardly, these people despise us, which, for understandable reasons, they will of course never admit. After all, they want to achieve something: Germany as a stronghold of prosperity.”

However, the power elites will have none of this, hoping for a repeat, and extension of what happened in 2015, only multiplied exponentially. It is just the fanatical religion of migration, and the Great Replacement in action.

“Former Afghanistan commander warns against accepting many local Afghan forces: They despise us,” translated from “Ehemaliger Afghanistan-Kommandant warnt vor Aufnahme vieler Ortskräfte: Sie verachten uns,” Exxpress, August 27, 2021:

The acceptance of former Afghan local forces is currently required in many places. Dr. Thomas Sarholz, retired colonel in the Bundeswehr, on the other hand, does not believe in indiscriminate aid: “As far as the local forces are concerned, I have a different approach from that which is usually spread in the media.” His observation: “That these local forces all now want to come to us does not surprise me; they had gained a very precise insight into our standard of living. Inwardly, these people despise us, which, for understandable reasons, they will of course never admit. After all, they want to achieve something: Germany as a stronghold of prosperity.”

“Unselfishness was the last thing that drove these people to work for us.”

Sarholz himself was sent to Afghanistan as a soldier in the German Armed Forces: In 2005 and 2006 he was in command of Camp Warehouse in Kabul, the largest international camp at the time with around 2,400 soldiers from more than 20 nations. In this role, he also had local staff. “These young men knew exactly the situation in the society around them. Unselfishness was the last thing that got these people going to work for us. These romantic idealizing ideas are unknown there or meet with complete incomprehension. Life is much too hard to deal with such talk of affluent people,” he emphasized in a letter to the editor to the German daily FAZ.

The local workers were rewarded princely sums by Afghan standards and, according to Sarholz, were also treated well. As a matter of course, they took part in the “excellent” lunch. “The soldiers of the German contingent usually gave them clothes, shoes and so on when they changed contingents. I signed dozens of so-called removal certificates so that these gifts were not taken from them when they were checked at the guard.”

Some local staff had to provide information – including to the Taliban, who knew exactly what was going on.

For the retired colonel, one thing is certain: “So it was worth working for us.” What you need to know: “An Afghan is defined exclusively by his family or tribal affiliation, individualism is unknown.” If they belonged to strong clans, “they also benefited from it and protected these people.”

If the local forces are members of weaker groups, other locals also benefit from their work. Even the Taliban could profit from it. Because here “protection money payments were due in order not to be killed. In addition, information had to be provided. The Taliban or similar groups were thus informed in detail about our numbers, equipment, and possibly even about our intentions.”

“There may be exceptions. Only: I haven’t met them.”

The Bundeswehr also had to react to this. “My two German soldiers, who supported me in running the camp, were instructed accordingly and warned to be careful when passing on information.”

With a view to the question of whether there were also local workers with more respect and less contempt for the foreign troops, Sarholz concludes: “I do not want to fail to recognize that there may be exceptions. Only: I did not meet them. But maybe I was and am blind. With the latter, however, when I look at the reports on the collapse of the political order in Afghanistan promoted by the Western states, I am in good company when I look at the coverage of the collapse of the Western-sponsored political order in Afghanistan.””
