          Complete waste of time there. Taliban sweeping through the country in weeks is a real embarrassment for the government there and the western allies who wasted 20 years there.

          Its proof that the Afghan government and military is too reliant on foreign involvement. How could the Taliban which have a much smaller army with weaker weapons win over the more powerful Afghan army?

          The United States spent billions dollars training the Afghan Army for 20 years. Result : it collapsed in less than a month.

          Very disappointing and disgraceful. There seems to be little fighting spirit and will on the side of the Afghan Government and Armed Forces to defend their country and freedom - after close to 20 years of US and Western Allies in the country.
