I don't thinks so either. The Military left... in their absence the true colors/desires shine. They likely would have captured/jailed and or killed Ghani but the city would not have erupted into battle.
IMO the afghans were just tolerating the US presence because they had no choice and NATO military power was the only thing proping the Government up and that Government did not represent the people.
If you compare that to Syria, where the USSR and Russian has kept the Assad family(Alawite Muslim, which is not the majority) in power since the 1960. The US doesn't show that kind of dedication.
