According to Taiwan media reports, the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan 20 years later and repelled the Afghan government forces that had been trained by the US military and financial aid for many years. Recently, the topic of whether the Taiwan army is stronger than the Afghan army has caused discussion on the island network. A retired U.S. military non-commissioned officer said that the military training of Taiwan’s military is still at the level of the 1970s.
Taiwan’s TVBS news network recently reported that the defense department of the Taiwan authorities patted their chests to ensure that the strength of the Taiwan military surpassed the Afghan government forces and that it had sufficient combat capability in the face of war.
However, Allen Lin, a retired U.S. non-commissioned officer, believes that from the civilian population to the “government” and even the military, there is an argument that Taiwan has an accident and the U.S. military is rushing to help. The degree of dependence is not lower than that of Afghanistan. If purely from a military perspective, training is It was still at the level of the 1970s, using cost-saving methods and outdated technology to train soldiers.
After netizens reposted this news report to the island’s online forum PTT, many netizens were also not optimistic about the combat power of Taiwan’s military.
Someone sarcastically, “How much modern training is needed for sweeping the floor?” “First hold an essay contest, and speak with confidence.” “Only 4 months of military service (military service), the best equipment and weapons are the same.” It saves face.”
Some netizens also said that “the battlefield is on the chain disk”, “the mouth can be used to fight”, “The funny thing is that Dad sells so many equipment and weapons…”
The Taliban captured Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, on the 15th and declared that the “Afghan War” had ended.
Taiwan’s pro-green media “Sanli News Network” previously reported that a Taiwanese netizen posted on PTT asking everyone, “Does the Taiwan military win the Taliban?” Started discussions on the Internet. This netizen said that the Taliban are basically militias and irregular forces. “So apart from the air force and the navy, the army should not be better than tanks, Apaches, and Cobras. Infantry battles, town battles, and Taiwan military battles. Win the Taliban’s militia?”
The netizen explained that the Taiwan military in the title refers to active servicemen, including four months of military training. He also shared his views, “Basically, I have received a year of’combat’ training as a soldier (infantry). I think the Taiwan military will be beaten up.” In addition, many netizens believe that the Taiwan military has no actual combat experience and should lose in the battle, and some netizens believe that the strength of the Taiwan military should not be underestimated.
In November last year, Taiwan’s “retired general”, “former commander-in-chief of the army”, and founder of the East China Taiwanese Children’s School, Chen Tingchong, talked about the issue of Taiwan’s military service in an interview with the media. He believed that Taiwan’s military period was shortened to only four. Yue, I don’t know what the combat power of Taiwan’s army is.
