Someone remind the Taliban can't possibly beat America with their junk weaponry and should retroactively surrender
Ah yeah, they won because of superior firepower and not extremely defensible, mountainous terrain, and knowledge of local complex cave systems.
That's a lot of words to admit "superior" guns don't make you superior
Motherfucker this is NCD. Of course superior guns make you superior. Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit

Yeah we just knew we couldn't level the mountains without coming off as the warmongering aggressors we are.
If we let go of all rules for war we would have just carpet bombed the entire place until everyone was dead.
But because civilians are a thing we (generally I'm not saying America is a good example of not committing war crimes) don't do things like that.
It doesnt help that even carpet bombing the mountains would be extremely ineffective. Those tunnels run deep man, deeper than anyone thinks. Now weâre wasting a lot more on bombs only to have them escape anyways.
That's a clever way to say the only way you beat an insurgency is a genocide.
