There is some reason why the Biden admin is hesitating to bring the Americans home. We know a large portion of these people were participating in the drug trade surrounding the poppy fields. I'm just trying to connect some dots.

Those mercenaries would be guarding the poppy fields and would know the details of the operation. Julian Assange once said the reason we were in Afghanistan is so the American tax dollars could be laundered to the corrupt international elite.
So if this was a WH operation, what better way to wrangle up all those mercs than to surround them with Taliban and control their one and only exfiltration point. Also they are probably not very happy with (or loyal to) their employers right now.
This whole thing made the DS squeal like a pig on fire. Kamala ran away to Vietnam/Singapore mid-crisis to answer to her masters in person. I would be very surprised if white hats were not playing some brutal 5D chess here.
Also the Taliban are very religious and before we went in to guard the fields, used to burn the fields. I think they smoke pot or hemp though, not sure. They were cutting into the Clown piggy bank.
