My answer has nothing to do with that afraid thing, but Iraq wasn't top ten armies at the time and neither was Afghanistan. These wars aren't valued for cent's worth regarding US military capabilities against proper army. Iraq was a test field for new weapons againts every way inferior army, that had so little fighting will, that it can't even be spoken about. And Afganistan was war against some rag and tag jihadists, but at least they had/ have fighting will.

That is how it goes.
