The Fall of Kandahar

@@karabiner9819 no, it’s lying

Same here

Lmfao only did he knew

At 12:20 what would you do if a take over in your city/town happened? Be prepared God only knows .

Yes exactly

100%

It’s not like they don’t ask them. I’m more concerned about the TIMING of this video’s release when it comes to reprisals. It’s one thing to try and melt back into the civilian world when someone would have to go out of their way to single you out, this is being published when the Taliban are in control and a purge would be most advantageous for them - rather than digging through old footage or caring more about regime survival in the future rather than recompense. That’s how these sorts of things work - on convenience, so this seems very poorly-timed.

@@fuzzydunlop7928 Considering that VICE released this AFTER the fall of Kandahar / Kabul I find it highly immoral that they did not blur faces!!!

The Taliban has declared "Amnesty" for all soldiers and they wont break thier pledge.

God bless💛

I’ll second that, God Bless 🙏🏻 English is not an easy language to learn! The Afghan soldiers that were committed to the fight were sold out & thrown to the wolves by their own president. He fled, with literally bags of cash (so much he had to leave some behind as the helicopter would be overweight…) It was either “go home, we won…” or “fight us, and die.”

Ignore the guy that put the laughing faces. You are 100% spot on. These commandos fought like rabid dogs with huge efforts but being outnumbered and outgunned with no air support, they couldn’t do anything more. My hearts go out to them. They are legitimate, disciplined serious warriors, and their leaders and their politician cronies sold them out and threw them to the wolves. They deserved better. Bless them…

Agreed. They were ready to defend and fight for their country but there’s only so much they could do when they’re leaders are cowards trying to save their own asses.

@@alberttomimbang2481 they had no chance when us left

It's sad.

@King Harold why? Because you're racist?

@King Harold wtf?

If you mean ghandara, ghandara is in kpk Pakistan not Kandahar, Afghanistan

Thats not Kandahar Thats Gandahar which is modern day Peshawar, Pakistan But the people of Kandahar and peshawar are the same. All Pashtuns

Khurasan as mentioned in religious books has been misrepresented and it's realities perverted thanks to British colonialism. Afghanistan is not really Afghanistan.it is Khurasan. The footage you see in this video is evidence of how Khurasan was further ruined and disgraced by the colonial Afghanistan project. Taliban are a Narco Mafia Khawarij force of terrorists that are occupying Afghanistan on behalf of the Pakistani ISI and their allies US UK Israel Saudi Arabia Qatar China etc. The Afghan forces shown here were mostly withdrawn and some of the first to leave Kandahar and then in Kabul straight to US....but the majority of the forces, those in hospitals, many others, they were all abandoned to be slaughtered. It was part of the US- Pakistan- Qatar deal to transfer power from puppet Ghani to puppet Taliban. All of them are alien to Khurasan.

It seems complicated. Consider that alot of this video and others you see like the one you mentioned are of the SF members of the ANA. The most well-trained, well-equipped, and devoted. Many ANA troops did not meet those standards.

Let's get it right... Joe Biden, a man who has never a done a day's military service in his life, what stood at a podium surrounded by armed Secret Services agents located inside of one of the most heavily fortified buildings in the world, essentially started the narrative of the ANA being "cowards". He obviously wasn't briefed on the casualty statistics of ANA and ANP personnel over the past twenty years. Senile old goat!

@@Scorch052 oh I definitely agree with that. Watched videos of US and British troops attempting to train them and it was like children but children on drugs. Said most of them were doing some sort of drug every chance they got. Some couldn’t even learn how to do a jumping Jack.

@Abu Sayed no sir I don’t.

Exactly they were sold out

@@hamndv lmao have fun retaking kabul with your homies and fighting 60000 or so experienced insurgents while being completely abandoned by your own leadership

Exactly

Ikr everyone who isn’t involved in the situation feels entitled towards the situation… like shut up you’re living in your moms basement 😂

You are watching SF unit's in this video, not the regular ANA troops. People call most of ANA cowards because that's how it is. They didn't even bother destroying their own equipment so that the Taliban don't use it. They just fled... Watch Ben Anderson's video's where you can see the real ANA, not SF which obviously has much higher morale, better training, equipment etc. and see for yourself.

Your prayers and wishes are worthless

Perhaps if the reality star hadn't removed the troops and released thousands of Taliban prisoners when he surrendered things would have gone differently?

Lack of confidence of ANA was the major constraint to their success.Nothing else

@@rogerwilco5918 the withdrawal negotiations started under Obama, continued under Trump, and finished under Biden. This wasn't the doing of just one administration.

@@chrisburke624 who told you that nonsense?

@@rogerwilco5918 it was a documentary I watched shortly after the fiasco A majority of the negotiations happened under Trump, including most dates. But the final final negotiations, including the actual withdrawal, obviously happened under Biden ^ is what this piece had explained. (By all means, it could be wrong!)

And thats all it takes to win a war. To out last the other peoples will to fight. In some way that IS a strength and should never be discounted in war.

Dear Taliban are stronger as they are non corrupt and determined plus they have a cause to fight for ... Afghan army was just protecting the western cause !

@@drebuhaniyah1988 well yeah it was just politics.... we had Al Quada years ago, we could have left them, still caught Osma Bin Landen with a drone to settle the grudge in our media our leaders at this time, their speaches went pretty much like this "we need to stay there cos we need to get the terrorists, they're doing terrorism, did i mention the terrorists, terrorism, terrorism" these speaches would go on for solid minutes, complete with Tony Blairs looooonnnggg trademark pauses, and then repeating the exact same thing he said now anyone supporting a "terrorist" is also a "terrorist", and if that 2nd person is a "terrorist", so too must anyone he knows be a "terrorist"..... this just went on and on until we basicly couldn't afford to find any more terrorists a funfact is when we killed Sadame, we actually killed his entire family line also, kids and all, sort of a mini-genocide.... this is how our secret services and defense agencies work, anyone who knows this guy, also a terrorist ad infinitum it's guys like Edward Snowden and Julian Assange who are the true heroes of our time... this is mankind vs some sort of war machine.... this is not about Russians vs Americans, or Muslims vs Christians.... it's more like the what the sit down protests in Viet Naam achieved.... nothing to do with actual war at all.... it's a legal and political war

Everyone thinks they know why the ANA didn’t fight. 1) ANA had extremely low morale due to little pay and being poorly equipped 2) ANA was a hollow core from the statistics (3x less soldiers than the reality) due to theft and corruption 3) Afghanistan’s political institutions were weak 4) the Taliban were extremely tactical and smart, they bought local leaders that were alienated by the government 5) trump empowered the Taliban by cutting out the Afghans from deal 6) America abandoned Afghanistan before strong institutions were built - you can’t just invade and expect a poor country with many tribes and ethnic groups to become the next Singapore in a measly 20 years.

@@musicalarchitecture7875 You forgot the close air support the US was giving them. When that ended, they lost.

Can't expect a country with corrupt leaders to be able to defend itself from insurgents even with the billions of dollars in equipment and reconstruction aid that Americans gave, but the Taliban seems like they might make a government and inherit some of the aid and equipment the Americans left and lets just hope the Talibans become more kinder to the people, it seems like a wish but still hoping.

Or Maybe US chose the wrong ally. Pakistan backstabbed. See how their leadership is warming up to Taliban. Their PM has gone on record to stay that OBL was a martyr and when their foreign minister was asked to clarify it. He dodged the question.

This whole war was a scam. I'm happy Bin Laden is dead but we have left a generation of destruction behind.

Thanks for your service brother. I'm sorry for this. I have good friends that served multiple tours over there, and one of them is a Marine (MARSOC) with 5 or 6 tours between Afghan and Iraq, and he was crying when I talked to him the week after Sloe Joe Kidf***er Baby Biter Biden betrayed the Afghans. My friend became good friends with a translator and his family, and was in the process of helping to secure a visa for the man and his family to move here, but never made it in time. As of February 2024, he has still not heard from them. A husband, wife, and two wonderful daughters, one wanted to be a doctor and the other wanted to be a scientist, and a son who wanted to join the US Marines as a service to America for helping his family... you and I know both know what probably happened to this family. I am (we are) disturbed and sickened by what we did to that desperate country that day. Meanwhile, sending 150 billion to Ukraine in a war we have no business being involved with. Don't let it get you down. You surely made a difference in someone's life over there and it's not your fault. You did your job, but our government failed you and the rest of us.

You can look at the documentaries by Ross Kemp. The regular Afghan army just weren't professional soldiers at all.

It's sad to say this, but these people want to live this way. They support the Taliban. The US killed way way to many civilians to turn support to our side. Too few Afghanis really felt the benefit of the occupation. Too many bad deals we made with war lords and monsters.

​@@jimcricket8128 That is just ignorance speaking. Even before the US invaded, Afghanistan was made up of minor factions and the US just empowered the north to take over the south. Turns out the Northers never saw the south as their people and vice versa, so they accepted bribes and abused their power. No surprise other factions united under the Taliban banner, when the US blindly supported the corrupt, US ground troops will attest to the mistreatment and even vice itself covered it 5 years ago. Every ground commander will admit to how stupidly they were used by the locals to fight their battles.

Alot of them we're always hi all the time.

@@dongster529 i am pretty ignorant about Afghanistan. But can you at least admit if the US administered the billions in Afghanistan correctly. Where people at the top, in the cities, weren't lining their pockets. And instead spent more money in rural Afghanistan. The country would look different. They relied on corrupt people, to pass out the crumbs.
