So you think that the Afghans army would have succeeded if the US didnt ditch them.

Clue you they were never going to succeed. It was all about milking the USA for everything they could get.

When Afghan had a king , he was more less elected by the warlords..having little power except to settle disputes. There never has been a central govt in Afghan.

The Tallyban even got a taste of that money. In the footage of the Tallys in the Presidential place one of them was sporting a very expensive 308 AR..maybe a Knights sr25..thats a 5k rifle. He was promiently showing it.
