>>508185160i have never claimed it was peer conflict. I am very much aware the taliban fought a guerilla war against a conventionally superior army.
The taliban worked with what they had, and they won. Thats just the simple truth, anything you say after the fact is just cope about and rationalizing your loss.
>>508185204why did they move on? because they got "bored" or whatever the mutts say?
>>508185383yes thats a very good point really. I read some article a while back, something about "america has forgotten what it means to win wars". People just look at how much death and destruction was caused and call that a victory. ("muh k/d, you even saw it in this thread)
when in reality, like you said, the world becomes more hostile and unsafe for the US, when really the entire stated original goal of all of this was to "civilize" these places, turn them into US allies, or at least places friendly to the US.
The US did a great job with that when it comes to the losing sides of ww2, and i might not think thats a good thing, but it was undeniably a complete victory, militarily and geopolitically.
modern mutts have forgotten how to do this, with some of you even seeming proud of that.
