that he’s heard stories of the Afghan translators and helpers turning on and killing our troops (over time).

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.
