That has nothing to do with the military, that has to do with the people calling the shots.

oh, their strategy was to put boots on the ground plus expensive toys for no particular and burn the cash? I don’t think so. If the military had better capability they would have burnt a fraction of that amount for the same result or the same amount for more results.

Afghanistan was total failure

This forum will be a better place when, inevitably, you are finally banned.

But until that day, would you care to elaborate on how you've reached that particular conclusion?

If you happen to see a decline in posters, & postings, that would be the reason. Some must like it though, as they keep dropping breadcrumbs.

Who is it you are trying to convince?

Convince what? I simply stated a fact. You don't have to believe it.

I know it may sound offensive to some but it is wise to temper our feelings with reality. I made this post when most were spoiling for war with Iran under the misguided notion that US would simply bomb the petulant Iranians to Stone Age.

No one ever said they were "spoiling for war with Iran". Whatever that means. I am wondering when you are going to start actually temper your feelings before you post.

President Trump threatened war with Iran and many in his corner were firmly behind this irrational idea.

Wisdom or common sense prevailed and they struck a deal to bomb tents on two bases to save face.

Sure, it was all due to the formidable foe they found in the Talibans

Yet they have basically no air defenses, and the US has stealth bombers with enough canned sunshine to turn the country into a parking lot. So, if raw victory was the concern, it was within the military's power to at any time unleash it.

You are framing everything in a pre WWII perspective. That's your first mistake.
