oh yeah it's been wild. I doubt even the Taliban commanders expected this. the army has just melted away entirely, barely even fought at all, with city after city falling within the same day some times. it makes the fall of south vietnam look like ww1 trench warfare
Yeah, there was actual fighting to defend South Vietnam, this is just the Taliban taking over provinces for some bribery or promise of future political clout....
there has been some small scale fighting, but yeah most of it has been bribes and the Afghan forces just running the fuck away. you think they would fight harder considering what is obviously coming to the collaborators, at least maybe get some motivation to save their skin. but eh, can't say I'd be a hero and stand and fight in that situation myself with those odds
sure, just saying things moved faster than their worst estimates
