As the United States finalizes its departure from Afghanistan, every city the US had occupied over the 20-year conflict has fallen to the Taliban.
For Sergeant David Gedman, an Afghanistan veteran who fought to protect those cities from the radical group, he says it's upsetting but not surprising.
"It's a bummer. It's terrible. But I think a lot of people saw it coming. Really the people I feel worse for are the Afghan people," said Gedman.
Currently, the Taliban holds every key city in the county including Kabul, the nation's capital.
The U.S.- supported democratic Afghan government is in collapse and the democratically elected president has fled the country, effectively spelling the end of democracy in the country.
