Aggressively British

[@Akm72]

@@Matt-xc6sp It is, but it could be seen as poor communication. The US forces didn't necessarily get the subtext when British forces underplayed the severity of the threat like that and would assume that they were being serious. In this case even the British Apache crews weren't sure about the situation.

The worst part is that the AFA even had their own special forces unit set up and they still ran when the Taliban took back Afghanistan

[@dragonstormdipro1013]

​@@hillbilly4895The avg Afghan troop almost never got paid. Their superiors embezzled all the funds. Their logistics were non-existent, communications with the NATO troops were patchy at best. No wonder they melted away.

[@محمدالامريكي-ج9م]

Its that people have to be "believers" in whatever it is they are fighting for. The ANA were nothing but cheap mercenaries fighting for personal self interest nothing more.

[@christopherwang4392]

@@Bullet-Tooth-Tony- The Commando Corps was one of the few ANA units that stood and fought valiantly against the Taliban even in the face of a losing war. Some of those Commandos joined anti-Taliban groups such as the National Resistance Front and Afghan Freedom Front which are still hiding out in north and northeastern Afghanistan.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="840">14:00</a> Main reason I don't like brigade combat teams. They're simply not large enough for real combat operations. These wars had low attritional rates, so it works. But I think we need to go back to the division as the most basic independent combat unit on the board.

The episode cost some British casualities, which is sad. Note, however, that it was also expensive in monetary terms, given all of the ordnance used. Ultimately, this war was lost in part because the fighting imposed monetary costs on NATO forces their commitment level would not sustain.

[@alexanderf8451]

This battle sort of encapsulates why the whole conflict ended the way it did. NATO poured in enormous amounts of firepower and money. The Taliban were willing to accept incredible casualties. The ANA didn't want to fight.
