It's really sad. When Biden announced the final withdrawl, he stressed that the Afghan forces numbered over 300,000 and the Taliban just 75,000. But the Afghan forces are just surrendering and joining the Taliban now that the US is leaving.
Quote:
“Look, we spent over a trillion dollars over twenty years, we trained and equipped with modern equipment over 300,000 Afghan forces,” Biden said.
“Afghan leaders have to come together,” the president added. “They’ve got to fight for themselves, fight for their nation.”
