A corrupt government, with an incompetent military, will not win against political (or in the case of Afghanistan) religious, fanatics.

The following AP report confirms what you stated as follows:

The U.S. army had intended to hand over its Combat Outpost Tangi to Afghan National Security Forces in April,....... but the Afghans never established a permanent base there......... "We deemed it not to be stategic and closed it," said coalition spokesman U.S. Army Maj. Jason Waggoner........ "The Taliban went in and occupied it because it was vacant."

The Afghan people, nor their army, nor their government are interested in protecting their own nations people.....and the proof's common place when you speak with the troops. They want us to protect them and continue to take in the mega millions Karsi and his thugs enrich themselves on. It's way past time to bring our guys home and stop this nonsense!

Most of the “Afghan people” have no concept of Afghanistan as a “nation”. They are essentially illiterate stone-age farmers and villagers who know only the approximate boundaries of their own villages and could care less about this thing other people call “Afghanistan”.

Nation? What nation?

The place is home to the world’s heroin supply (and there are also fields of marijuana as far as the eye can see, by the way). It’s about the money. It’s always about the money.
