Watching Ken Burns’ Vietnam War documentary and then reading that the Afghan armed forces would find it extremely challenging to afford to maintain some of the key military equipment given to them (eg planes and helicopters), it feels as though some mistakes from Vietnam have been repeated.
Do you agree that Afghan forces were provided with equipment by the US that they would never be able to afford to maintain themselves?
