Interesting. Sound like Vietnam all over again. The problem that you don't go into is the question of were the Afghans fighting the Taliban or not? Supposedly in Vietnam the US agreed to supply air support and the South Vietnamese would do the ground fighting, possibly with advisors. As the US troops left the S. Vietnamese would take over. From what I read this was happening.

I believe the same agreement was in place in Afghanistan. The Afghan government troops would do the ground fighting as the US withdrew but the US would continue to supply air support and possibly artillery.

The question is was that happening or not?
