I thought the US lost in Afghanistan and Vietnam. Am I misunderstanding something in your post?
- arkensaw 2y agoYes I think you are misunderstanding. The leaner forces in all of the cases above are not the US, but the opposition.
- wqaatwt 2y agoPolitically, not militarily. Same in Afghanistan. US could and did easily win the conventional parts of both conflicts. They lost because they didn’t know what to do after that or didn’t want to escalate it into a full scale war (Vietnam).
- csomar 2y agoThe US might have lost lots of wars but it is a clear winner in the propaganda front (at least until recently). The parent is a manifestation of that.
- guerrilla 2y agoNo, you both misunderstood what I said. Lean forces win. The US isn't one. My question is why then does the US waste on bulky investments.
