Afghan abdication

I have always heard about the great warrior qualities of Afghans. So it has shaken me to the core to know that the trained and well equipped Afghan army abdicated in front of the Taliban. The common afghans should have taken up arms and fought for their life and freedom. They too failed themselves. The women are again left unprotected and with an uncertain future. They have behaved like an effeminate race today.  Shame on Afghans.
