Iraq didn’t really destabilize Europe and the Middle East wasn’t stable to begin with... it was a big expense with no real net gain, so clearly wasn’t worth it.
so yay, another 9/11 can happen!! but this time they'll leave the lame-o "freedom tower" alone and instead target silicon valley, because that's where the money is at these days

Like Vietnam, the effort didn't match the goal. What was nearing 20 years of conflict could have ended in 20 days if the US tried - but war is business.
We all should be happy to out of the ME, tbh
why not just say in 2 days
20 days, 2 days, both are same murican science fiction fantasies
Hit the chick fil-a, shut down the country
Question: do you believe the US, given no obstruction from congress, can't wipe out Afghanistan in conventional war with few losses?

wipe out?
where are you gonna bomb? in the cities?
so far you are still in sci fi/ fantasy section
can you explain what wipe out means?
The old man should have brought them all home day 1, (as surmised.)
He says going out to Dover, AFB as they arrive is the worst thing he's ever seen...parents crawling over the caskets, the screaming & yelling...
...but, not quite (worst) enough to bring the children home.
Destroy all organized resistance
with bombs? boots on the ground?
how are you going to kill all “resistance” in an mountanous area of 250,000 square miles, hundreds of thousands of tunnels and caves and 40 million people?
still scifi/fantasy
So no?
maybe in a hollywood movie your scenario of winning in Afghanistan in 20 days would be believable (I doubt it and the movie would be on the level of Hot Shots Part Deux)
You're kind of overestimating Afghanistan or thinking I'm including guerillas in sand huts drawing it out. A nation weaker than gulf War Iraq wouldn't have any form of organized resistance several weeks latee if the US let loose.
The whole point of me asking was to see if you were comparing this to Vietnam for the right reasons. It's similar, but not because the enemy was strong - rather the effort wasn't there.
Just like with the stock market, you're drawing false conclusions. What's your nationality anyways, you don't seem to like the US much
you still havent explained how we would beat the Taliban in 20 daysYou're kind of overestimating Afghanistan or thinking I'm including guerillas in sand huts drawing it out. A nation weaker than gulf War Iraq wouldn't have any form of organized resistance several weeks latee if the US let loose.

how many planes? where will your airbase be from? how much bombing? where? how many boots on the ground? how will such operation in a land locked country thousands of miles away would happen?
its fun to play Call of Duty from the confines of our couches but at some
point we have to realize Terminator 5 aint happenning in real life
I'd leave that to the armchair generals, just like you should leave stocks to the armchair day tradersyou still havent explained how we would beat the Taliban in 20 days

We both know this will result in me citing the few months it took to fully subdue Iraq and you citing terrain or defaulting to guerrilla fighting. There's nothing there, but you've avoided two questions so far. What's your nationality, hater?
Except that's exactly how the Taliban managed to get back where they were in 2001.I'd leave that to the armchair generals, just like you should leave stocks to the armchair day traders

Also, the us has bombed Afghanistan more in the past 3 years than in the first 3. Vietnam is to this day the most bombed country in history. What exactly do you mean by more effort?
wow did not know you were so ignorant on world affairsI'd leave that to the armchair generals, just like you should leave stocks to the armchair day traders

you cannot seriously compare the Gulf War to Afghanistan. Saddam had a standing army that literally had bright uniforms so US could easily shoot on the bright desert. Not to mention US had massive bases in Saudi, Qatar and Jordan that were a 1/2 hour flight from the battlefield. not to mention we had our entire Navy stationed on Iraqi coast
have you even located Afghanistan on the map?
not to mention its surrounded by massive countries not too friendly to USA like Russia, Iran and Pakistan. Not to mention Taliban do not wear bright uniforms and do not parade on the desert but have hideouts in the mountains connected by networks of tunnels (similar to bietnam)
he probably means we should replace the generals with Phil Jackson and Pat Riley
Straw man and no substance, again what's your nationality?wow did not know you were so ignorant on world affairs

I'm not gonna call you out on the atrocious idiocy in ignoring the numbers we're dealing with out of the fact I had a chuckle at your unifirm argument
Corona virus.
We aren't leaving Afghanistan.
Few indications that this brokered deal will actually stick so far.
Taliban have taken to kidnapping people to use as hostages so they can trade for their fighters.
Who knows, war is business and we're an ied away from escalating things anywhere we have troops.

would you consider casting an HIv infested Charlie Sheen for your scifi/fantasy/adventure war film?
Sure, it'll be about some illiterate schmuck that thinks the dow Jones represents our economy and a superpower can't glass some poor muslims
