    At 41:00: "If those Afghan Army Soldiers don't believe in the government or regime they are lying their lives down for, then they won't fight". I think Ross totally predicted the future with that statement.

      I mean trying to help to strenghten the national security organs, is certainly better than just using that country as merchandise for their military tech. But still that western arrogance is sickening.

    • @scheisstag
      @scheisstag 5 лет назад +5

      The ANA guys are not that worried about getting surounded, because the ANA and Brits toghether had close to a hundred? troops gathered in a very open area. The insurgents dont have that many troops accumulated in a certain area. And if they would have, it would be a big mistake for them to change from guerilla warfare to take the Brits on in an open battle: with british air superiority and the ability to bring in more troops with trucks in a day and helis in a couple of hours that would be sucidal for the insurgents and is simply not necessary. Its a far better tactic to avoid all troop concentrations of the westerners in the field at all and just fire three mortar rounds on british compounds by surprise on a calm day and than vanish again or have a sniper taking a single shot and than hide the weapon in a cache and walk off openly or mine the whole area with just 5 insurgents in total or just fire some rounds into the air with one guy whenever you see the Brits leaving their compound to slow their advance down. And the ANA guys were aware of this, while the British seemed to fail to realise how this war is fought.

    I find it interesting how even in 2011, 10 years before their decisive defeat, the problems with the ANA were freely on display, and those 10 extra years changed nothing.
    It seems that poor tactics and coordination, over confidence in their men, dismissal, or underestimation of their enemy and over reliance on Western assets all led to a messy operation, but as Ross says, it was likely deemed an overwhelming success. It makes me wonder how many times such a scenario played out , how many times NATO troops had to intervene when things went south and how many times Afghan commanders saw only the success and not their own shortcomings in command.
    The fact the ANA nearly completely collapsed the second NATO troops left suggests the ANA were wholely unprepared to conduct operations without them.

      US-Nato Occupation Forces and US Installed Regime killed thousands innocent Afghan... Western media 20 years propaganda make people fool...now when Afghan freedom fighters kickout occupation forces and puppets they are sanctions Afghanistan 10 Billion USD...so make this economic crisis?who killed innocent Afghan? who booming innocent afghan students and killed them? have you any answer? Don't forget this historical speech : -----
      2001: Mullah Omar: "I am considering two promises. One is the promise of Allah, the other is that of Bush. We will see which one of these two promises are fulfilled."
      2021: The world can see which promise is the true one Indeed Promise of Allah comes true...
      Afghanistan they never are defeated...they win against Super Power USSR and USA ....The ancient enemy makes prayer about these people "May God deliver us from the venom of the cobra, teeth of the tiger and the vengeance Of the Afghans." So be careful Enemy Of Afghanistan

      I think you're right, but I also noticed that there was a huge amount of arrogance among the Afghan commanding officers. They refused to take advice and went with their own decisions. It's something I've noticed in this part of the world where although they have limited experience they wanted to do everything themselves instead of working together. They were obviously incredibly inexperienced and now in hindsight looking at the fact that the Taliban took over the country within just a few weeks shows how poor they were as commanders

Just doesn't make sense to me why they are so damn weak and scary.

    The reason united States has its army in Afghanistan has extremely little to do with 9-11. We all know the Afghan Taliban are not an international threat. They simply dont like foreigners dictating their country.
    The main reasons behind the US, UK being in Afghanistan is to get close to Russia. They want to build a puppet government in Afghanistan so they can carry activities from Afghanistan. Afghanistan is like a base. A base that NOBODY in History was ever able to take control over. It is the graveyard of all superpowers to ever set foot in that country. The Americans and British want this for themselves. A base in the middle of Afghanistan to be able to easily meddle into neighboring countries like Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, Russia.
    America has its own terrorism problem to solve at home. Domestic terrorism in America is high.

      Maybe, but I really don't think so. Afghanistan was used as a scapegoat for the Bush administration to add Trillions of dollars to the war industry, and made all the investor's rich on another level. The only reason the US has committed to staying in Afghanistan, is because the US can never, ever admit when they were wrong. Case in point, supporting "rebels" instead of keeping Assad in power in Syria. If the US was smart, they would retract their statements about Assad and decide that its obvious the country is much more stable with him in power. Not happening though.

    - I was in Kunar Provence in 2011. The ANA was a joke. Between the ANA and Afghan national police in green on blue attacks they probably killed more coalition forces than bad guys. We had patrols where the ANA would disengage and retreat. We started to say ISAF stood for “I See Americans Fighting.” If coalition forces pull out and leave Afghanistan to the ANA it will be just like Iraq after the pullout. Taliban will be back in power inside a year
