Of course, they were just busy embezzling the fuck out of that money and not actually caring about creating a functional army, because the US and NATO is there to fight for them.

Local Army commanders used to invent fake soldiers and keep the salary.
This is basically it. Within a handful of years it was known that the Afghanistan officials and so called leaders were taking handfuls of cash and immediately fleeing the country. Absolutely nothing has changed since then and the fact there's any uproar at all about it beings unfair to the Afghanistani people is disingenuous.

We are not Afghani, we are not responsible for your government being bad, we are not responsible for your military and police not protecting you. A trillion dollars in Afghanistan and we're back to 2001 with the Taliban in charge. Bin Ladin is dead, move on.
