I know people who served in Afghanistan and they all had a very low opinions of like 95% of the people in the army, with basically zero discipline or professionalism. (Though they spoke highly of the translators, who we shafted). Still, when they roll back in and you have weapons to stop them before they make your life a living hell… I guess most of the 20 somethings wouldn’t have had any memories of Taliban rule. Maybe they thought it would be the same shit, different day, different assholes in charge.
I dunno.
You would think with the way the place is awash in weapons, you would have a robust underground, but I dunno.
It’s just incredibly frustrating seeing this level of Theocratic, tyrannical rule.
