Did the 300,000 strong Afghan army show up yet? I expect they’ll be coming along any time now to take out the Taliban.
You want the same buffoon who designed the Trashcanistan departure to run this war?
I was reading an interesting critique of the final days of the Afghan army a few months ago. Some of which I recall is that shortly before the fall, American advisors had disappeared, all air support had been pulled away, their source of pay had been switched so that wages/salaries were late and sometimes never showed. In short, morale was in the pits.
Then the Taliban had infiltrated the cities, towns and villages and caused problems. But to top it off the Taliban approached the Afghan army commandants of the cities and offered each a huge pot of money to lay own their arms. The Taliban seemed to have been heavily financed. There was more I don’t recall.
