      I’m no fan of the US military and I live here but you can keep your “whataboutisms” to yourself next time. The Taliban were doing this shit long before the US was ever there.

      Under us occupation afghan women were the freest they’ve ever been. They trained Afghan soldiers, built infrastructure and educated the populace, but as soon as the west left, the afghans put down their arms and welcomed the Taliban into power.

        welcomed the Taliban into power

        Or maybe because the U.S unable to win those guerrilla war & fled the country, it enabled the Taliban to take control of the country.

        They didn’t have a choice other than accepting their power.
