You would think they would have taken steps to avoid this outcome, but maybe this was the outcome they wanted?

    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
