Typos
editThe picture of the Chinook helicopter mistakenly refers to "USAF pilots." The US Air Force does not have pilots for the Chinook. They're "US Army pilots," as the citation notes.
First paragraph, last sentence "andwas" appears as one word. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.60.35.95 (talk • contribs) 21:44, 19 June 2013
Under Casualties and Losses on right hand side "but reports suggest a higher number compared to coalition forces" may read better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.170.91.1 (talk • contribs) 17:15, 20 March 2014
"2001: Overthrow of the Taliban" - boming should be bombing — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.183.22.30 (talk • contribs) 22:28, 9 May 2014
Under "2016-2017: Collapse of peace talks, emergence of Islamic State" the second paragraph, last sentence, there is a typo "ajd" which probably should read "and." MrToasterWaffles (talk) 00:32, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

In 'Drug trade' section, please change
'...which was the Taliban's largest source of revenue though taxes on opium exports.'
to
'...which was the Taliban's largest source of revenue through taxes on opium exports.'.
