We have to face it that the Afghans really don't like foreign intervention and, unlike many places, are willing to fight for their country whatever the cost in human life.
Don’t lump all Afghans together. Many, especially woman with dreams beyond a life spent covered head to toe subjugated to their husbands were quite vocal in their criticism and fear of the US withdrawal.
