When you consider twenty-odd years of US-war on the Taliban, al-Qaeda, the ISIS thugs in Syria and Iraq, and various Muslim groups in Africa, with the Saudi-war itself in Yemen....there are tens of thousands upon tens of thousands of dead Islamic guys.
This 2021 Taliban group? The CIA says....there were around 80,000 Taliban warriors who made the 'win' in Afghanistan possible. How accurate were the CIA on this assessment or any other assessment here in 2021? You really can't say. They might be 100-percent correct.....they might be 60-percent correct.
Here's the thing....how many of the Taliban crew were originally Afghan Army members, and simply defected over to the Taliban? It wouldn't surprise me if in six months....the CIA come to admit almost half of the Taliban membership for this drive into Kabul.....were former Afghan Army folks (disenchanted with the corruption of the Afghan state).
If that was the case, you'd probably ask a lot of questions about what went on for that entire twenty-year period, with no one really willing to answer questions.
