I strongly disagree with the assertion of many in this forum that the American military is to blame for this debacle. Withdrawal could have been planned better, sure. But the underlying issue is the loss of the government and reversion to Taliban rule. This is not the fault of the American military. We gave them training and security cover for 20 years. This is an issue of the Afghan people being war weary and not caring enough to stand and fight. The loss is on the Afghans, not the Americans.

The loss is on Americans, the Afghans current actions just show how much of a waste it's been for us the last 20 years in time, money, and blood shed.
But I see what you're getting at fren.
