To be fair, the 205th Corps featured in this video defended Kandahar to literally the last bullet - most of the soldiers didn’t run, but the Corps ability to carry on was systemically ground down after months of non-stop, heavy fighting with the Taliban. They received minimal support from the Afghan government - no ammunition or equipment resupply, token reinforcements and they were starving by the end. Those who weren’t killed surrendered after their commanders negotiated a deal with the Taliban to let their men go home. People in the comments section of this video should show them some respect. Brave and determined warriors ultimately betrayed by their own Government. It’s sad. Really sad.

[@tSp289]

JC545X39 Well, it usually just depends where you point it and how you set the fuzes. AAA is anti aircraft artillery, usually used with timed charges so the shells explode in the air at a set range (flak) or by proximity. Modern point defences are usually not directly controlled by a gunner, because computers do a better job of tracking fast targets like jets and missiles, but then much of the world can't afford that kind of tech so you get older AAA guns like this, which are just as effective at blasting things on the ground.

@@syahrul9176 Translation: "Sometimes when you think about why the National Army immediately surrendered after the US troops left Afghanistan when logically they could fight the Taliban With advanced weapons and combat equipment and also trained why they didn't fight, it's funny" In answer, I think it was because few of the soldiers had any loyalty to the state.

You have to remember some of these guys were not getting paid at all for weeks. When they did get paid it was peanuts (Ive read the Taliban actually paid better than the ANA or ANP). They were badly equipped. If they got shot there was no air ambulance to save them. Afghanistan doesn't actually exist as a unified country to these guys, most only care about their own village and only respect their village elder. Some didnt even speak the same language as each other. That's why they had no desire to fight and inevitably die.

People who criticize this army have no idea about Afghanistan. This Army is shit and should never be compared to another country's Army. After 30 years of war rebuilding an Army is not easy, however our aim was never to build an Army that can take on America, it was to build an Army that could fight the Taliban. This Army is perfectly capable of fighting the Taliban, while the foundations of a new Army are being laid out. A new generation of Afghan army recruits are joining the Army, recruits whom with relative peace and stability have gone to school and university. The Afghan officer academy in Kabul is training the next generation of leaders, both men and women.

I wish I had been watching this situation develop over the years. It is easy to become complacent to all the issues in the world due to lack of time to watch all the news stories, and get all the various perspectives. It's hard enough to keep up with day-to-day work and family time, let alone be concerned with things that are happening in the middle east. But it is interesting to study the whole situation and see how this all unfolded. One perspective I heard is that perhaps the U.S. could have set up a permanent military installation in Afghanistan the same way we have bases in Germany, Japan, Korea, etc.

[@dayalcober89]

I'm copying and pasting this so maybe people will understand what the US gave their ally The US gave the army 0 tanks, a bunch of Humvee's with no one to fix them, a few dozen Jets and helicopters to cover a country the size of 2 Germanies but with a lot more mountains which could only be reached by, you guessed it, planes, 0 bombers, 0 missile launchers, no medical support, forced the government to release 5000 hardened Taliban soldiers for absolutely nothing, scraped equipment rather then giving it to the Army, took out the contractors needed to fix the planes for the tiny, tiny air force, told the enemy exactly when they're going to pull out and not look back, didn't even threaten to change course after they launched a massive offensive and pulled out ever thing over the course of 2 months in the middle of summer aka the fighting period is abandoning a country. What really crushed moral as well was when Biden heavily implied that that he'll stop what little air strikes they were getting the second August 31st ended. There's also plenty of stories of higher ups saying a peace deal was on the way and to just give up with out a fight, hence why there is now a Northern Resistance comprised mostly of special forces. The Afghan army suffered 70,000+ dead soldiers compared to 3,000 dead American soldiers (10 dead a year in the last 5 years) and did most of the fighting for the past half decade. The only reason they fell apart was because of all the stuff mentioned above. And horrible/corrupt leadership. But this was mostly the US and Biden's fault and it's is honestly disgusting for him to put the blame on the Afghan soldiers and call them "cowards who didn't want to fight" when he did everything in his power to abandon them for no reason except a few political brownie points which he at least won't get now

[@Lucillestfu]

That’s pretty spot on but the president left even if they did have the training the equipment and armor they wouldn’t have fought it didn’t really matter there was Nobody there to tell them to fight or how or what to do. the Afghanistan army fell apart not because of lack of equipment but lack of leadership. But you are mostly right i cant say i blame the Afghans for surrendering nobody was paying them they had no equipment its really not there fault.
