Hmm, US did not destroy the Taliban in Afghanistan. So I do not think US won much in Afghanistan (for ex. bin Laden was killed in Pakistani)

- wasfgwp 2mo agoThey occupied the country and mostly/almost did accomplish that. 2002 to ~2005 were reasonably clam. Then their failures to bulld a stable government brought the Taliban back.
- dh2022 2mo agoUS did not occupy the country- they occupied the big cities and a built a huge airbase. Countryside was in Taliban hands for the most part. US never closed the border with Pakistani - and the talibans retreated in Paki when under attack and then went back in Afghanistan when things calmed down. In Afghanistan US won as much as it won in Vietnam.
