The details in the article don't support the headline.
>On Tuesday, July 13, Siddiqui joined a successful mission to rescue a policeman who was surrounded by insurgents
>Three days later, on July 16, Siddiqui and two Afghan commandos were killed
>In the weeks that followed, the Taliban conquered city after city.
- ancientworldnow 5y agoThat's because the article is intended to lay blame at the US exit of Afghanistan and imply that the taliban is executing fighters. In reality, media embedded with soldiers in active combat occasionally die which is a tragedy but less useful for propaganda (hence the title).
- isleyaardvark 5y agoI don’t know how you can think that. The July 16 mission was a separate mission. The article goes into detail about that mission and about how he was killed after being left behind when the soldiers retreated during the July 16 mission.
