I think the assumption was that the Afghanistan army that the US funded, trained, etc. would fight back instead of running or surrendering.

Looks like that was a bad assumption.

So we’re going back for a cycle of US-trained and armed people joining an extremist group that will turn on the US?

I hope history doesn’t repeat itself completely :(
