  4.  @thereelaccountant9246  They are much more competent, they are a formal military, not a insurgent group. Your point about the mujahideen is misleading, we taught the mujahideen like 50 years ago and that knowledge passed to the taliban as much as it can but we trained the ANA for two decades and recently. There is a big difference between training a handful of fighters secretly over days and weeks and telling them to share their information and training thousands formally over years. Despite being one of the least competent militaries and the taliban being one of the oldest insurgent groups there is still a very large gulf of ability. Which is why the taliban are regularly trying to get their hands on ANA equipment and trained soldiers. A small handful of trained fighters are supporting a few housand hardly organized, radicalized, peasants don't equal a military. I have first hand experience too mate, I've seen ANA and ANP incompetence plenty of times. But I think you have let the enemy get far too big in your head mate, there is a lot less actual taliban competency than even the competency you get an an average trap shoot event. And that's before we spent twenty years butchering their organization, leadership, and key knowledge holders while building up that of the ANA. The ANA are incompetent compared to the greatest professional army in the world but you are absolutely wrong if you think that the taliban are more competent. The enemy is bigger in your head than in reality.
