America’s 17-year enemy in Afghanistan, the Taliban, launched a coordinated set of assaults around the country ahead of the recent Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. With echoes of the Tet offensive carried out by the Viet Cong in 1968, the #Taliban attack targeted vulnerable outposts peppered across seven provinces and claimed the lives of scores of Afghan forces. The assault on #Ghazni was the most orchestrated operation of this nationwide onslaught. And the Taliban’s surprising effectiveness—capturing districts, nearly toppling a provincial capital and briefly ­cutting off the main north-south highway just 60 miles from the capital, Kabul—raises troubling questions about the state of the #war, writes W.J. Hennigan, TIME's national security correspondent. The battle was a major test of the Trump Administration’s long-term military strategy, which hinges on defending population centers while ceding much of the remote countryside to the Taliban. It proved that U.S. forces still routinely rush to save #Afghan forces struggling to contain a resurgent Taliban. That hard truth suggests the plan to train, advise and assist Afghans so they may one day defend themselves masks the costs the U.S. is still paying nearly two decades into the war.
