    I saw videos at the time where some random Taliban guy would drive into a town on a moped with an AK. They would surrender millions of dollars of military equipment to him without even an argument. Sometimes there were two guys sharing the moped and the gun was on one guy’s back not even out.

      Well, that sounds like propaganda videos where they had already surrendered and the taliban wanted to make it seem like all it would take was one person to make people volunteer…

      But, you’re also talking about all the equipment that was expensive but neither side had the knowledge or equipment to maintain, right?
