Arm chair strategists are taking great delight in criticizing Afghan Army for collapsing in face of so called Taliban onslaught.

A little knowledge of philosophy , inclineth man towards atheism as the adage goes but , depth in philosophy bringeth back man to God ! This is how I will describe these novices and critics !

The first point to be noted is that armies are not created by US firms like Military Professional Human Resources International in a decade but a long process spanning centuries.

The real Afghan Army with traditions dating back to 1719 or 1747 was destroyed by joint US Pakistan design about 1978-1992 when a proxy war was financed in Afghanistan.
