Hello, we are talking about MILITARY CAPABILITY. Unless u are 5 years old, war is not just about military. But the fact is if it comes down to total, existential war, these guys will just be a shit stain on the road if uncle Sam brings out all the toys. They are lucky America is a democracy and most of the citizens don't like to see their people dying overseas. If it's a dictatorship they will all be singing star spangled banner right now. This is what the Gazans and Iranians are facing right now with an unleashed Netanyahu who has successfully opressed all local dissent. Macam adult playing football with kids.

Afghan war Taliban had what, 100k killed? Meanwhile if car bomb kill 10 American soldier the whole country hoo ha protest against president already. same with Vietnam war. 1 million north vietnamese soldiers killed? That's like 20x american casualties.

Don't parrot these midwit perspectives from reddit or twitter please.

Democracy or not, both afghan and Vietnam war pullouts by the US were not because they were defeated by a bunch of people hiding in caves armed with rocks and ak47, but by local opposition by their own citizens who are tired of wars and they were about to feel it in the election results.
