it seems like they were all sitting on hub instead of training.

Many joined to earn easy money, very few intended to confront the battle-hardened Taliban.

Thats not true. They are adapting new norms.

ANA was fighting for money that the Americans was pouring in. Once that stopped and the Americans packed their bags so did Ana.

This is what many of us think.

This is what many of us think.

That’s because it’s true, ANA foot soldiers only goal was to feed their mouths back home.

Kabulis will go for whoever controls the ATM. We have seen it before with the Persian, British and the Soviets. The capital must be moved to Kandahar as soon as possible.

The mass defection and side switching has got to be the most disheartening for the USA and it allies. After spending years trying to build and arm the ANA. ANA probably received more aid money from the USA then any foreign military, short of Israel.

Bush should of listened to Musharraf after the fall of Kabul on kept the Taliban as part of the political dispensation. Bush sided with NA and India. Result is clear to see. Fighting for 20 years... spending trillions...losing many good Americans....only to be at the same point they were decades ago. Plus falling behind in the great power race to boot.

Seems like the flood gates have opened.

The USA has a propensity to subsidize the losers! Hopefully, it’s not repeated while confronting China....

It's probably a Russian M-46 M1954 130 mm towed field gun!
