They spent 20 years and God knows how much money over there training a military and it gets overrun in 10 minutes after leave.

Yeah I'm still trying to comprehend WHY this was such a big surprise. Was it a masterful troll job by the Afghani army? Someone lied big time? No one at all could see this coming after spending 20 years with these people and faction leaders?
I'm betting it was a massive breakdown of communication and getting the word up the chain. And by the time the US leaders knew, it was way too late.
