A day? BS. Sorry. That's BS. The ANA have been hard at it for several years. Do you know how many casualties the ANA took in an average year? The ANA suffered more casualties each year than the US suffered in 20 years. When the government wouldn't pay you in a timely manner, when you're not getting fuel, when no one is supplying you with ammunition, and you still show up to the fight, you deserve my respect. When provincial leaders surrender their provinces and their capitals because they're on the take, what do you expect the soldiers to do? Continue fighting? For what? You turn your weapons in and go home. Or, you get the hell out while you can, whether to Iran, Uzbekistan or the last remaining province not under Taliban control with hopes of maybe fighting another day.
