There are also other reasons. I agree that big part of Taliban army are just people ordered to fight by conscription forces. Foreign elite troops (Chechens, Pakistani, Arabs etc..)are
- foreign - dont have cousins in Afghanistan, who would revenge them
- trained fanatics (elite)
- their bestiality is well known, so if opposite forces catch them, they kill them, not always in nice way.
There are also political reasons. Nobody except of Talibans need them. They are dangerous for all: Russians, Pakistan, nothern alliance, Americans... Most of Talibans are local people, and they or their relatives will live in Afghanistan. I wouldnt be surprised if there is an international agreement to kill all mecenaries - it is healthier way.
