Outside of Islam, the middle east, and Afghans in particular, have always been tribally focused. There's more loyalty to family and tribal connections than in any national government. Today's ally is tomorrow's foe and all that.
Given that, the Afghan national army/police have very little motivation to actively do their jobs for the greater country outside of their tribal areas. And getting high I guess. Add on top general corruption and it's no wonder that there's so many Green on Blue incidents (where Afghan forces shoot/bomb coalition forces). I'm sure a lot of them view the US the same way their fathers and grandfathers viewed the Soviets. Just another in a long line of occupying forces
