Taliban taking over Afghanistan

[Solkern]

We should have withdrawn the day after we killed OBL. I knew from the moment I met the Afghan National Army that they were fucked when we left.

They were noticeably shittier than the Iraqi Army, and that is saying a lot, because they sucked too.

I agree. There’s no reason we should have been there for so long. Most people with a brain recognized this as a lost cause from the get go. It should have been even more transparent as the years kept going, money kept being sent, that nothing of fruition was going to come out of it, no matter how long we stayed.
