For the US to think it had a chance in The Graveyard of Empires will go down in history as the monumental folly it was.

I dunno how much a nuke woulda cost, but it sure wouldn't've cost $1 trillion!
Rumsefeld shoudda been allowed to nuke it from outta space!
We wouldn't have ISIl, AQ, or anyone else now.
It worked against the Japs in WWII, so we know it woulda worked against Talibanistan!
friendlyskies wrote:"It would have worked if only X had happened instead of Y." This piece, along with many of the comments, is just more of the same. There must be some psychological benefit in blaming someone besides the enemy for a loss. That would be interesting to study. Because even if X happened, the Taliban live there and care what happens to the government, while the USA is 12,000 miles away and cares about who can make some money off the situation. Not really the best setup.
