Was The US Successful?

Chuck Todd (Meet the Press) on the local NBC station tonight asked was the US successful in training the Afghan defense forces?

Of course they were. Look how fast the Taliban has retaken the country.

Come on folks, if you think that the Afghan defense forces were comprised of any group other than the Taliban, you have not been paying attention to more than 40? 100? years of history in the region. Now the US has trained another force that is capable of kicking the US military’s ass.
