U.S.-trained Afghan soldiers engaged across Afghanistan in armed resistance to the Taliban's terrorist rule are worried that their campaign will be blunted by poor funding, a lack of state support, and no safe haven.

They call themselves the "Afghanistan Freedom Front." Most of the fighters are people who came of age after 9/11 and, in part due to the 20 years of U.S. involvement in Afghanistan, consider themselves pro-American.
