      I sure hope your right, but we did not just give them stuff and tell them to figure it out, we trained them for 20 years, with the most experienced soldiers in the world. It’s obviously a motivation and culture issue, so maybe after they realize how shit things have gone they may make a change, but I am not holding my breath.

        The US invasion of Afghanistan basically paused Afghani political progress for 20 years, because they were too busy fighting a foreign invader. Doesn’t help that the US-backed government was famously corrupt. Change in the Afghani political sphere was always going to start after, not before, the US pulled out of Afghanistan.
