The U.S. military, the world\u2019s most advanced, relies heavily on combining ground operations with air power, using aircraft to resupply outposts, strike targets, ferry the wounded, and collect reconnaissance and intelligence.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In the wake of President Biden\u2019s withdrawal decision, the U.S. pulled its air support, intelligence and contractors servicing Afghanistan\u2019s planes and helicopters. That meant the Afghan military simply couldn\u2019t operate anymore. The same happened with another failed American effort, the South Vietnamese army in the 1970s, said retired Lt. Gen. Daniel Bolger, who commanded the U.S.-led coalition\u2019s mission to train Afghan forces in 2011-2013.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThere is always a tendency to use the model you know, which is your own model,\u201d Bolger said. \u201cWhen you build an army like that, and it\u2019s meant to be a partner with a sophisticated force like the Americans, you can\u2019t pull the Americans out all of a sudden, because then they lose the day-to-day assistance that they need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden blamed the Afghan security forces for their loss, claiming that they were \u201cnot willing to fight for themselves,\u201d despite the fact that they have lost <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/uk-wales-58230075\">nearly 70,000 soldiers<\/a> fighting the Taliban and other terrorists in the country.<\/p>\n<p>The AFP highlighted <a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/weapon-seizures-massive-boon-taliban-052812817.html\">analysis<\/a> from a terrorist expert on what the seizing of weapons means for the Taliban:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"18\">\n<p><em>The weapons will not only help the Taliban\u2019s march on Kabul but \u201cstrengthen its authority\u201d in the cities it has captured, said Raffaello Pantucci, senior fellow at the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies. With US troops all but gone, the Taliban now find themselves flush with American-supplied tools, without having to raise a single penny.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt is incredibly serious. It is clearly going to be a massive boon to them,\u201d he said. Some of that weaponry is now being brazenly paraded ahead of the US troops\u2019 9\/11 withdrawal deadline by insurgents who have maintained ties with Al Qaeda, the group behind the 2001 terror attacks.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
