It's not a competition. Both those wars and most of the rest of the ones we've been in were terrible in many ways and for many different reasons. But if it was a competition then either the US Civil War, or more likely the American Indian wars, was the worst or most shameful war we were a part of. None of that takes away from how we yet again abandoned our allies in Afghanistan. Between this, how we abandoned our Kurdish allies in Iraq, and how Trump pulled us out of the Iran Nuclear deal I'll be amazed if anyone has any faith in US promises for at least a generation or two. At least the Ukranians love us - for now. Wonder how long till we abandon them to the Russians. I love my country, I just am constantly embarrassed and ashamed of the people running it. We really are a kakistocracy.

Nobody wins in Afghanistan except the gravediggers.

Pretty much, at least until they break down and are abandoned by the side of the road like old Russian vehicles and tanks that were left behind. Though the Russians may have done a better job at scraping their gear before they pulled out in '88/'89.

@Justin.D.DC4L Indeed! But when you own the machines that print the money... Then there's that classic quote from Smedley Butler that everyone already knows.

@TheResistance-ye8bh That we trained. If you are going to try and blame me personally for what the US government did then you need to take that blame on yourself too. Even if wherever your from wasn't part of the coalition in Afghanistan you are prospering from the order of the NATO states.
