The “highly trained” former Afghan government troops were not well schooled in the arts and techniques of leadership. And without organized leadership, they become merely an armed mob.

Being recruited by the Russian Federation to fight as mercenaries is probably one of the better employment opportunities available to these sometimes well seasoned and trained combatants. The American Foreign Legion is given up to new ownership.
