read the afghanistan papers. there has never really been a plan.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghanistan_Papers

nor did the generals actually REALLY believe the US could win. Nor did they even have a coherent definition of what winning meant.

We kept the Taliban from taking and holding a single province for 20 years. Then we just up and left because of some fucking nonsense about "the forever war" which ultimately amounted to us as a country getting frustrated that they couldn't stand on their own and bored of the whole endeavor and unlike every other president before him Joe Biden didn't listen to the adults in the room and pulled everyone out and shut the door behind them and said "whats the worst that could happen"

Well here it is.

we definitely didnt lose lmao. It was a draw. If we really wanted to we could turn every city and town in the country into a parking lot in one day without nukes

Not only did the US lose but they fled like a beaten dog. American cope is the best cope.

The documents reveal that high-ranking officials generally held the opinion that the war was unwinnable while keeping this view from the public.

And I've read the entire paper. Either you are lying or you ate the propaganda right up from your superiors boy.

It was unwinnable because every year the definition of winning was building some magical ever victorious Afghan army that could beat the Taliban without US support which was not going to be realistic in any of the years we tried it. I was there in 2010-2011 and we actually did push back the Taliban everywhere and keep them from taking the country for another 10 years. I have to believe we gave the Afghan people a decade without them in power.

Nope. That was never an original goal. You are straight up lying here.

And you were there during a surge.

There were way less troops in the last few years than when you were there.

millions living in poverty without their basic needs met, people walking around with military weaponry, gunning eachother down in the street, police basically the equivalent of a cartel militia, government irreparably corrupt at all levels and they don't even need to hide it, prisons run for profit with a prisoner quota, a constant literal genocide of minorities.

oh and don't get me started on the cult-like brain washing of religion and, as seen in this topic, blind toxic patriotism.

You're forced fed it cause the US has been the most influential super power for almost 100 years. And if you're getting your news from social media you're almost certainly misinformed about pretty much anything and everything.

how do you get misinformed about people bringing their AKs to shop at target, or an innocent black person getting executed in broad daylight by police, whose only punishment is a paid vacation?

Good job not being able to dispute anything they said. That was the equivalent of using a comeback like "Did you get your degree at Burger King?"

You're basically just trying to smear shit on the walls at this point if you fell that low this early into the conversation. Lol.

In the time that we had more than 5,000 troops out of the 2 million in our military in the country they didn't capture a single city or even a district center (which in some cases is no more than a small town) and hold it. Nothing about them taking over was inevitable unless you spout some nonsense like "we had to end the forever war".

Common sense really, tbh.

Lmao stop lying. I've read the Afghanistan papers. None of your superiors even had a plan.

Oh for fucks sake.

By that dumbass logic, the US and Allies lost to Japan in Word War 2 because eventually the US stopped bombing them and Japan is a sovereign country again.

actually you have to live in the US or you don't know wtf you talking about

judging a country you are not living in and never having visited only works if the country is NOT US or one of it's lapdogs/allies. in that case, US propaganda prevails and trumps opinions of people that have visited/lived in those countries.
