Afghanis sat back for 20 years expecting the US to do all the heavy lifting for them.

Yet no one seems to care about the young boys and the men that are going to be killed wholesale in the next few months.
Only the girls and the women.
Its terrible what is going to happen, to ALL of them.

Just like the Hatians - another sh**hole nation.

The big mistake the United States made was training the males to be soldiers.

I understand your point but THE MISTAKE was not allowing missionaries in to change the nation as was done in South Korea.

The big mistake the United States made was training the males to be soldiers. The U.S. should have trained the females to shoot because they have a real incentive for personal safety. Maybe someone will get it right the next time.

Just like Rush's All-American First Cavalry Amazon Battalion

I agree. Think of the many billions of US dollars spent there and the many US guys who died trying to hand them the best chance at freedom.

They only know how to murder one another ... and furthermore ... if they won’t give up gender apartheid, NOTHING will ever change, no matter what kind of help they get!

Taliban has assured their people that they will adhere to their laws, sharia laws.

Two words, Islamic Fundamentalism.

Just like in Minneapolis.

And it appears a good number of Afghanis are perfectly fine with Taliban rule. It’s who they are.

If you are a straight male who isn't a drug-addict, alcoholic, or thief, Sharia law is a pretty good deal.

The people calling for it to be implemented in the United States might want to consider this.

Concept to ponder (though admittedly impractical): Why the heck spend 20 years paying Kurdish women to train Afghan women and girls to be fighters? The Afghan men we hired calculate that they are better off letting the Taliban take control. The Afghan women are the ones who will pay the price. Protecting themselves would require a major revolution of consciousness, but no one else is going to do the job.

I feel bad for her, but the Afghanis trusted the United States

And just sat on their butts and made the US do all the heavy lifting.
