Taliban Turns Insurgents Into Commandos As It Builds 'Fully Capable' Army

Taliban leaders are working on turning their insurgent forces into a modern, standing army equipped with U.S.-made military gear that was seized during their takeover of Afghanistan in August.

Ironically the talibans strength was asymmetrical warfare, this will effectively make them weaker but hey it "looks cool" so...

As a soldier, if you misplace 1 of your 300 bullets, you will get a serious punishment. But when the higher ranking general left thousands of weapons and equipment into enemy hands, they dont have to face with any consequences

People don't understand. Every base abandoned was like leaving entirely (very well) stocked cities with lots of military hardware. The scope of what was handed to the Talibs is infuriating.

We may suck at nation building but we certainly know how to build up enemies.

When you finish the insurgency campaign and now unlocked the foreign military skins and a counterinsurgency campaign on Call of D'uty.

The American is one of the best and generous suppliers for Talibans.

Iam surprised how an outfit can turn somebody from looking like "Insurgents" into some hero looking soldier 😂😂

"Hey! That's my NVG system he's wearing!" - some guy in the US, somewhere.

Probably the only army completely built with others ammunitions, ironically, who are their enemy

I love how they all have slightly different uniforms and gear, as if they all personally got to choose what they wanted to wear.

American Military: Spends over $600 billion on Military.

Taliban: *you paid for these?*

When you just started playing the game but your level 1000 friend drops you items.

"We trained a lot of mechanincs..." -in which we left behind, and they are now Taliban mechanics, fully capable of maintaining and repairing U.S. equipment.

The Taliban just got the best loot drop of the millennium.

When a Taliban says "every action has a reaction", you just have to take it seriously and back away.

"Hey which equipment did you want us to wear at the showcase?"

"Yes."

[OFFROADOVERDRIVE]

I like how they are wearing aircraft headphones to look like they are well equiped

[abelesperanz]

they're not just commandos, theyre airforce pilot's too.

a military that surpasses metal gear

Lesson to be learned is the US should not fight a war in another Man’s home for he’ll surely defend it.
