Please Rochard explain to me why so many Troops died if the army was destroyed in 30 days? Are you telling me that civilians with no military training killed over 4300 soldiers?

The US is very good at the war part, but not so good at the clean up afterwards.
The biggest mistake made in Afghan was when Bush pulled the troops out before the job was done, to send them to Iraq.
TBH, the CIA did an outstanding job in Afghan prior to the military boots hitting the ground. We probably could of won that war very fast just using the CIA and special forces and just allowed the NA to do the fighting.
Of course no big amount of troops on the ground wouldn't allow Cheney & co to reap massive profits from no bid govt contracts.
The fighting part I really don't think any country could match us. It's the other stuff that gets fucked up when political leaders try to do nation building for profit.
