“The United States spent “2 trillion dollars to train and equip the Afghan military over the past 20 years. They fell in a week.”

PolitiFact rated this: Half True

PolitiFact says: The $2 trillion figure is considered credible for the 20-year U.S engagement in Afghanistan, but it includes much more than just training and equipping the military.
