So the first problem was that the Afghan special forces where the first ones to fight the Taliban. They got completely surrounded and were left alone, there was no USA air support, or troops from the Afghan National Army. After all the special forces got wiped out it was pretty much over the. The normal Afghan Army was not trained to actually believe in their cause. They just took the salary and new equipment from the coalition and as soon as the real fighting started they went home. Really sad.
