  1. True for Afghanistan but in Iraq they have done a pretty good job and Iraq took care of ISIS on their own.

  2.  @harneetsingh3726  They did learn something its called trying out new toys and combat tactics, giving their soldiers realistic on field combat instead of simulations and ideas on what kind of government and funding should be done to win a war.

  3.  @flame7047  It ain't an unstable mess that I went to Iraq and the people are really nice. Not to mention the fact that their own military kicked ISIS out of their country on their own and cornered them into Syria.

  5.  @kazkazimierz1742  In my opinion its how to fight an insurgency war and see what works and what doesn't in said combat environment and type of conflict.

  6.  @AXIOSGOD  Btw ima bring in the fact that the new "Laying Flat" movement in China is happening in which the people are just sleeping and not doing anything. Also, a lot of china's economy relies on trade so I think the US will win the economic war. Tbh Canadians are chad ngl in combat and in a duo with the US against China they might win. Also, lets hope Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and other asian countries that are allied with the US will allow military access so that the US can invade from land and not only by sea.

  7.  @harneetsingh3726  Doesn't every country in a war do that? Not to mention Russians do want back their land as shown in the Russian annexation of Crimea.

  8.  @shahjahannizamee2727  China lost to Vietnam in 1979 too you can search up China vs Vietnam 1979 and thanks to that the Vietnamese wants to be friends with the US more than China.

  9.  @shahjahannizamee2727  Iran actually wants to press the Start WW3 button in the middle east.

  10.  @shahjahannizamee2727  I think there were WMDs in Iraq its just that they fired all of them at Israel before the US can find them.

  13. @Tom Alfonso Iraqi population was in full support of the US invading Iraq its just that the new government ran by Iraqi minorities caused people in Iraq to lose it. In Afghanistan the US supported the Northern Alliance in 2001relying on special forces only units its just that the Taliban were doing a heavy number on construction units preventing builders from finishing anything. Thankfully in Iraq the Iraqi armed forces kicked ISIS out of urban areas and has their cities being rebuilt such as Mosul and not to mention the fact that Iraq has actually been getting more equipment than Afghanistan as Iraq is getting their own attack helis like cobras and their own tanks. If you watched that one Funker530 video it went from chad ANA Jamshed to poor ANA SAW Operator.

  14.  @k.t.5405  Well we tried that in Vietnam it didn't go so well, we didn't do that in Iraq and apparently they kicked ISIS out of urban areas allowing for rebuilding to get done and has been getting more funding than Afghanistan.

  15.  @k.t.5405  Nam was run by LBJ aka a not so good president and made rolling thunder fail thanks to the process of finding a target and target selection. Yet, Nixon the president from 68-72 did actually good and made a new bomber offensive called Linebacker which did more damage to the NVA in a week than the entire Rolling Thunder Campaign. Since it was in the end game and LBJ announced de-escalation there wasn't a chance for Nixon to keep the war going so he pulled out. Look in Iraq they do be doing good and better than afghanistan.

  16.  @mp80w  I mean hey we didn't invade Afghanistan in 2001 technically. We were just backing the Northern Alliance made up of afghans who wanted to unite the nation and pursue modernization rather than drug trafficking.

  17.  @k.t.5405  what about Iraq? Also blame LBJ for the loss of Vietnam as he handled the war poorly.

  18.  @IblameBlame  They lost due to PR and not due to military losses just like Vietnam in which bad PR and not so great war support from the media and public will basically make the politicians then tell the military leaders to pull out of the US. If you checked 2001-2020 combat victories in Afghanistan you can see that the majority of the fights are won by the US. It's just the media that is screwing things over.

  19.  @IblameBlame  Here is the thing though it's politics and the media screwing things over and if you checked how many major battles the US lost in Vietnam and Afghanistan it's basically a few compared to the win rate the US and its allies have been getting in the war. The war wasn't lost on a military level it was lost thanks to the politicians and the media causing low amounts of war support to then tell the politicians to pull out. Now go explain away military losses contributing to it and I will say you are wrong but if you say politics caused the loss then I agree with that. Not to mention literally everyone including my Chinese parents can't take France seriously as a military power.

  20.  @IblameBlame  Also WW1 went into stagnated trench warfare and the Allies were gaining the upper hand on the central powers.
