The Last Commander: The Once & Future Battle For Afghanistan | Guest: Lt. General Sami Sadat | Episode 331
The Andres Segovia Show10/28/24 • 53 min
I remember what I felt watching what appeared to be just a bunch of military-age males running in desperation to get on any flight out of the Kabul airport instead of standing up to resist the Taliban.
The Taliban rolled in seemingly without any resistance.
And I kept asking myself, what was the point?
What happened to all the training, all the sacrifices, the $2 trillion tax bill, over 6,000 American dead?
Why?
After taking time to cool off and wanting to look into this because the media never really covers the whole story, gave me a different perspective into something I didn't know.
And while politicians will throw shade left and right, blaming one or the other, I needed to hear from an Afghan and find out what actually happened because no one seems to be covering their side of the story.
What policies, if any, had any effect in their ability to resist the enemy?
What I found disturbed me because it contradicted what I understood to be true.
This is my conversation with former Senior Army Commander Lieutenant General Sami Sadat.
