US sending 3000 troops in to assist with the evacuation as well.

Next few months and years will be very upsetting to watch, such a beautiful country falling back into Taliban control. The saddest part, it's all very predictable. The Taliban strategy from the start was just out waiting the West knowing they'd all leave eventually, and well, here we are.

Shame. Like I said, the coalition did a lot of good things. Built thousands of schools, promoting women's rights, infrastructure, etc. Of course, all is for naught if you can't keep it under control and the ANA was a dysfunctional crapshoot from the very beginning and never improved.
