Training mercenaries and armies, a failing scenario for the U.S. army

In most of the wars launched by the US in the region and abroad, scenarios of the failure of the American army to train armies and mercenaries were repeated, and this was the distinguishing feature that marked the end of those wars, starting with Vietnam, passing through Syria and ending with Afghanistan.

 

The rapid collapse of the Afghan army in front of the Taliban movement, after billions of dollars were spent on it in financing and arming, is only the latest indication of the continued impotence of all those trained at the hands of the US army, whether they are armies or mercenaries.

 

The scenario of Vietnam in 1975 is still in the minds, as the South Vietnamese army, which was trained by the Americans, collapsed and was doomed to failure despite being well-equipped.

 

Talking about the failed training, one can recall the mercenaries and terrorists who were trained by the American army  which harnessed millions of dollars for them and provided them with the up-to-date  weapons amid the support of dozens of Western and Arab countries to achieve an agenda that fell just as those mercenaries and terrorists fell before the valiant Syrian Arab Army in the terrorist war that was launched against Syria.

 

Back to Afghanistan, billions of dollars were spent by Washington and plans for training and arming did not result in building a strong Afghan army, which was reflected in the rapid control of the Taliban movement over the country in a way that once again reveals the falsehood of Washington’s allegations about its establishment and preparation of an Afghan army trained on the best modern combat systems, which ended up defeated and surrendered.

 

US President Joe Biden hastened in a desperate attempt to evade Washington’s relationship with the Afghan government forces, even though his administration “in addition to previous American administrations” have always boasted about the readiness of the Afghan army, which was prepared according to Washington standards and supervision over the past twenty years.

 

The American army, instead of instilling a fighting spirit in the Afghan army, sowed corruption in the ranks of its leaders, which was confirmed by the American newspaper Washington Post, which revealed in a report that the Afghan forces now need to compensate 25 percent of their number annually due to the spread of corruption cases among their leaders and with the knowledge of Washington.

 

What the Washington Post said was confirmed by a report by the “SEGA” commission charged by the US Congress with supervising US military operations in Afghanistan, which revealed the poor organization of US officials in preparing the Afghan army since 2005, when the US army admitted its failure to obtain tangible aspects of the Afghan army, such as fighting, commanding and working on the communications system, according to the British Guardian newspaper.
