We're barely beating the Taliban. We lost in Vietnam.
We have the most technologically advanced, best trained, and expensive military in world history, but it hasn't exactly gotten a whole lot done in the last 50 years because it's been used for pointless and frivolous political means. In fact, I would say it's BECAUSE we've over-estimated our military power ("most powerful military in world history") that we keep getting into these retarded messes. Iraq was supposed to last "6 to 8 weeks," remember? Libya was supposed to be over within a week. Afghanistan is going to end after 13 years, and the Taliban is still there. Well done.
If the Russians couldn´t win after 10 years of extreme brute force in Afghanistan, what makes you think the US can ?
