I said the Afghan army’s disintegration in the face of the Taliban’s sweeping advance came because the troops did not want to fight for their government.

“Morale just collapsed,” I told BBC Radio 4’s Today show. “We have often seen that in history before. Armies can collapse very, very quickly if the momentum is seen to be going so radically against them.”

“Our enemies have studied our vulnerabilities and adapted far more quickly than us. The static concept of war versus peace no longer applies as we are contested on either side of the threshold of armed conflict on a regular basis.
