Udgivelsesdato: Aug 20, 2021

Panic at the airport in Kabul. Many people want to escape. But who is to blame for their desperate situation? The USA and Germany point to the Afghan armed forces: They have shown too little will to fight. But is that true? Former US General David Petraeus, himself a commander in Afghanistan in 2010-2011, contradicts this. The situation of the Afghan armed forces was "hopeless" after the Americans withdrew their air force far too quickly. Can you expect someone to fight when they know that support is no longer coming? Our reporter Jonas is in the USA and interviewed David Petraeus exclusively for STRG_F.
