I heard just a little of Dan Bogino when I ran to the store. He said the Afghans wanting to move here s/b vetted, that he’s heard stories of the Afghan translators and helpers turning on and killing our troops (over time). Says the officials have known the Afghans are ungovernable for a long time.
Our country’s leadership right now reminds me of a wal-mart on Black Friday when only 2 cashiers are working and no one can find a manager.— Larry The Cable Guy (@GitRDoneLarry) August 15, 2021
Hasn't that been the problem all along? People we were "training" one day would turn on us the next day. They only pretended to be loyal to whoever was paying them & you could never tell who was your ally or or enemy.
That's why, to me anyway, it is now surprise the people we trained were not loyal to us & would never be able to hold the country. The Taliban retaking the country was inevitable, either 10 years ago, or 20 years from now. Yes, it could have been a whole lot more orderly, but it was going to happen whenever we left.
