    "They wanted to fight, they were just so tired and under supplied." Sounds like they didn't want to fight and so they didn't. Instead they took the opportunity to run. Taliban lives in mountain caves and uses shotout AKs and RPGs from the 70s but still fight. ANA has modern equipment and firepower, drops it all and jumps on the first flight out.

What a joke, they couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag. Half of them can't even put a helmet on facing the right way. Maybe they are tired because all they do is smoke hashish and opium and sleep under trees all day. Under supplied my ass! They have top tier state of the art U.S combat equipment. It's absolutely a lack of will!

    In the shadows of recent times, we stand witness to the strength of Afghan hearts. Many, like us, left home in search of safety and hope for Afghanistan's renewal. Among struggles, Afghan youth rise unwavering, reflecting the spirit within all of us striving in finance and entrepreneurship. Let's stand with them, sharing their stories and celebrating their strength. In the face of hardships spanning two years, these brave souls press on, painting a path to a brighter future. As we remember August 15th, let's keep alive the resilience that transcends borders and binds us all.

    @@MrZZooh Right? Even in World War 2, when France surrendered to the Germans, the British opened fire on French ships so that they couldn't end up in German hands. The French ships were told to sail to a neutral port, to be scuttled or to join the British fleet in order to not let these ships join the German navy. When the French refused, the British sunk the ships. I know this isn't exactly the same thing, but the principle is much the same. When they thought the Afghan army would be able to fight off the Taliban, then taking those weapons away would feel like it opened the attack of: "You expected them to fight the Taliban but left them with no weapons?" however without a victory against the Taliban, the problem you're left with is: "You left all these weapons intact for the Taliban to take."

The Warlords who supported them will want their cut. The Afghan Treasury is basically frozen now through international sanctions. Drug revenues might buy an army, but they don't feed a nation. The Taliban are in the hotseat now, their conquest isn't as secure as it seems.

    The old man that was kept by the talibans for ‘stealing’ made me cry because of the way the taliban had the audacity to say that the thieves get their hand cut off. I’m thinking that the old man stole the sheep because of hunger and now he’s getting his hand cut off for that? Biden can’t just keep breaking his promises by ‘helping’ many other Countries including Yemen! This is very sad the way people wanna escape Afghanistan because they know how much they’re suffering the pain and loss, my heart goes to all of them! 💔

Muslim religion is one that can not homogenize with other's way of living. So what was the point of that? Now troops are pulled out, before civilians and planes may have to leave some behind?

I spent a tour in Afghanistan and so i have some anecdotal evidence. President Biden even asked his advisors how long will it take to prepare the ANA to defend against the Taliban and none of them could give him an answer so he made the sensible decision and continued to pull out. If we spend a generations worth of time training and equipping an Army for it to still not be prepared then that is no longer on us, at some point the weight has to be shouldered by the Afghans.

Or some religious people from your own country who you don’t necessarily share all of their beliefs? Think about it like choosing between Communist China coming into the U.S. and backing a government of their choosing, or a bunch of gun nuts from the Bible Belt who want to institute a theocracy based strictly on the Bible. I wouldn’t be thrilled about either, but I’d take my chances with my own people rather than a foreign military.

    Yea that was so frustrating to hear at the beginning. Of course a large part of this failure was a lack of will; I mean, how could it not have been? We trained their army for 20 years, gave them tens of billions in equipment and on the ground support, and they still couldn’t last more than a couple weeks. I mean hell, that’s the definition of not having the will to fight. It’s also partly just due to the makeup of the country apparently. There’s been a lot of discussion this week about how there’s not really a sense of a cohesive national identity, but Afghanistan is rather a collection of tribes that people identify with on a small, localized scale. Thus, it’s exponentially more difficult to create a national army. But regardless, it’s an incredibly nuanced and difficult situation. All we can do now is wish for the best.

In fact, we gave the Afghan forces the mediocre equipment and no real air force because we *knew* they would capitulate and turn the weapons over to the Taliban. The Afghan gov't never had any real support outside of Kabul and a couple other of the largest cities. Funny how the minority of Afghans living in those cities are the only people being interviewed by reporters.

    They gave up all their artillery, their best weapons hummers, heavy guns, in ww2 they would destroy weapons to stop them getting in enemy hands it's just stupid they totally gave up they had superior weaponry and an airfield which could of had supplies dropped right in - in ww2 hundreds would stand against thoussnds there were dozens of examples of outgunned forces standing against bigger armies its just pathetic

    So...the Afghan army DID give up their arms and retreat and Afghan leaders told them to do so. Thanks for confirming it, Ben.

    The previous government was more or less a puppet of the United States, artificially held together. In reality they shared almost no substantive policy differences with the Taliban besides their overt US backing and at least tentative willingness to allow democracy, and it should come as no surprise that their resistance crumbled at the mere mention of a US withdrawal. They had no will to fight because they were a product of the US occupation, not anything resembling the will of the people of the country.
